Happy Now?

By Lucinda Coxon

Synopsis:

“Okay, I’m thinking: is this my life? My one and only life? This chaos of miscommunication and petty resentment and kids I only half recognise? Is this it?”

Late 30s, married with kids, Kitty has long since forgotten the carefree years of her 20s. Then a chance encounter with an attractive and persuasive delegate at a conference starts Kittyquestioning her routine lifestyle. Struggling to maintain personal freedom along with family, fidelity and a testing job, Kitty feels as though she is simultaneously the rope in a multi-directional tug-of-war contest and the juggler hired to perform a fiendishly difficult balancing act.

Lucinda Coxon’s Happy Now? is a painfully truthful, darkly comic take on contemporary life and how to survive it.

“A richly rewarding gem... the best new play to have arrived on the British stage for at least a year.” Daily Telegraph
