HAPPY DAYS
BY SAMUEL BECKETT
|
|||
|
There are only two characters, a man and a woman, in Beckett's intellectual tickler, but there is always a plentitude of ideas and incisive comments on life. In the first of the two short acts Winnie is buried to her
waist, but still has access to
all the civilized accoutrements:
toothbrush, mirror, pistol. In
the second act she is buried to
her neck, and left to work with
only her eyes and her mind. This
is sufficient, though, for her
happy days. |

Minchin's seminary in Victorian
England, her life takes a
dramatic turn when she receives
news of the loss of her
father... and her fortune. Sara

to become a servant and live in
a wretched attic room. When a
mysterious gentleman from India

begin to happen. |

The Night Reginald Filbert
Called It Quits |
![]() |
||
|
Reginald Filbert is a thirty-nine year old recently unemployed bachelor who shares an efficiency apartment with a fish named Moby, has never voted for a winning presidential candidate, has spent one-hundred-seventy-two-thousand-nine-hundred seconds (rounded up) searching for his door key, and has written one-thousand-nine-hundred-sixty-four (exactly) suicide notes. But what happens when an "escort" named Angel pays an unexpected visit may change his life forever. A laugh-out-loud examination of a life definitely worth living. Rated "F" for funny. |

ADAPTED BY ALAN BENNETTDirected by Michael BiasThis ingenious adaptation of the classic children's novel created a sensation at the National Theatre of , |
||
| Great Britain. Here are Badger, Rat Mole and Toad of Toad Hall in the familiar tale with a contemporary slant. "I am almost as enthusiastic about Alan Bennett's adaptation ... as Ratty is about his river."-- Time Out. "This has to be the most dazzling and enjoyable show in the West End. I hope it wins heaps of awards."-- Daily Express. "Bennett has played fair with [the] original story while adding to it his own brand of astringent nostalgia and cryptic wit."-- Guardian. "A brilliantly theatrical piece of storytelling entertainment."-- Financial Times. | |||

| "ultra-chic continental" hero, and the "impossible-to believe-but-he's-better than nothing" type hero. Her world is the all too real world of Times Square, and the people who pass through her world are as deceptively charming a group as ever swept across any stage. | |||
