WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Lea Delaria and David Greenspan star in Happy Days, by Samuel Beckett. The play is a testament to the human spirit -- a scathingly hilarious portrait of a very ordinary couple, Winnie and Willie, in the extraordinary circumstance of being buried alive. Presented by Classic Stage Company, The Worth Street Theater Company's production brings a contemporary twist to this timeless parable. Jeff Cohen directs.
