Happy Days By Samuel Beckett Directed by David O'Connor runs Now - October 18, 2009

Since the Lantern's first-ever production of Beckett's Waiting for Godot in 1994, we've built a reputation for approaching major works in new ways. Whether you love the theater of the absurd or simply appreciate the Lantern's refreshingly direct approach to modern classics, you won't want to miss Happy Days, in which Beckett's groundbreaking, uniquely modern character struggles to maintain her irrational cheerfulness in the face of ridiculous difficulties. Winnie, the optimist against all odds, fights for her very survival in this surprisingly funny and affecting production, perfect for the Lantern's intimate space.

Note: There will be flame and smoke effects during the performance.

"A vaudeville touch that Beckett would surely applaud." -Philadelphia Inquirer on Waiting for Godot (1994)
