Slaphappy

A new romantic comedy of lost lovers and tormented ducks!

“Grand mischief… beautifully delivered…Neff truly amazes.”   – Chicago Free Press

“Briskly paced and breezily acted…calls to mind Coward’s Private Lives…a multitude of door slamming farcical high jinks…director Shavzin maintains a light touch…as staunchly, effortlessly insubstantial as it should be.”  – Time Out Chicago

“Slezak is good at delivering wry, dry one-liners, and the cast…good at delivering them, especially Judy Blue as a tippling American divorcee and Lucas Neff as a Parisian bellhop with sidelines in therapy and terrorism.”   – Chicago Reader

Jeffrey A. Katz, presents the world premiere of Slaphappy, a romantic comedy of lost lovers and tormented ducks, by Chicago playwright Gary Slezak. Set in a Paris hotel, the play explores the idea of happiness through the eyes of four Americans, a loopy bellboy, an astute concierge, and a society of pâté lovers. Battling couples, exploding rockets, mistaken medications and a taste of foie gras come together in a delirious confection.
