Happy Days - Show Information
The story of an eternal optimist facing the harsh realities of lifeHappy Days is the story of an eternal optimist facing the harsh realities of life with a smile, endless chatter and an enduring cheerfulness. With her handbag at her side and her husband Willie nearby, she never allows a day to pass without looking her best and hoping for better.
The image of faded beauty, Winnie, buried up to her waist in sand is one of the most compelling in modern theatre.
Armed with a mirror, a toothbrush and a revolver, Winnie gives us an insight into her every thought while her monosyllabic husband Willie reads the paper and crawls around.
