WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A chance encounter at a hotel plays upon Kitty's mind in the dark comedy Happy Now? by Lucinda Coxon, 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. Happy Now? dares to ask just that, in this painfully truthful, darkly comic take on contemporary life and how to survive it.

Businesswoman Kitty (Mary Bacon) certainly has reason to feel out of sorts with her marriage. She's the primary breadwinner after her husband Johnny (Kelly AuCoin) quit his job at a law firm to become a teacher. Unfortunately, he's as workaholic in his new career as he was in his old one. Making matters worse, he turns into a sort [...]
