A happy room is not always where the family is…
They say you can’t choose your family, but if you could, you certainly wouldn’t choose this one.
The Hendersons are a happily dysfunctional family, who are reuniting for their dad’s third (or possibly fourth?) wedding. Nobody, however, expects the death of their father's bachelorhood to become an actual funeral… Well, it would be a waste not to repurpose the hotel function room, right?
Hailed as Schitt's Creek meets Saltburn, (This is not A) Happy Room is Rosie Day’s second play following Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon which premiered at Southwark Playhouse before its transfer to The Garrick. Featuring Day’s signature ‘laugh-a-minute’ humour (WhatsOnStage), her new, sharp, searing, dark comedy will premiere at the King's Head Theatre in March 2025.
