Reihe: NHB Modern Plays

A painfully truthful, darkly comic take on contemporary life and how to survive it. A chance encounter at a conference hotel plays upon Kitty's mind as she struggles to balance personal freedom with family life, fidelity and a testing job. Her husband seems more interested in misplaced apostrophes than his marriage, her parents are looking down the barrel of oblivion and, although she might toy with joining a gym, Kitty's running out of time for big changes. Lucinda Coxon's play Happy Now? was first staged at the National Theatre, London, in 2008.
