Lucinda Coxon’s Happy Now? Added to Yale Rep Season

Lucinda Coxon’s Happy Now? has been added to Yale Repertory Theatre’s 2008-2009 season. It will run October 24-November 15. Liz Diamond will direct.

In this darkly comic new play, a chance encounter at a hotel plays upon Kitty’s mind as she struggles to balance personal freedom with family life, fidelity and a demanding job. Her husband is more interested in misplaced apostrophes than in their marriage, her parents are looking down the barrel of oblivion, and although she toys with the idea of joining a gym, Kitty’s running out of time for big changes.

As previously announced, The Yale Rep season will also include Sarah Ruhl’s epic trilogy Passion Play, staged by Mark Wing-Davey, to run September 19-October 11; Tom Stoppard’s Rough Crossing, to be directed by Mark Rucker, to run November 28-December 4; the East Coast premiere of Lydia by Octavio Solis, to be directed by Juliette Carrillo, to run February 6-February 28; the world premiere of Notes from Underground, an adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel, March 20-April 11, co-written by director Robert Woodruff and star Bill Camp; and Charles S. Dutton starring in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, April 24-May 23, to be directed by James Bundy.
