All The Happy Things
A dark comedy about the power of sisterhood and grief.
A powerful exploration of what it means to be human… Nothing could have prepared me for just how brilliant All The Happy Things is”
★★★★★, Green Room Reviews
Dynamic and engaging”
★★★★, The Rendition
Sienna is trying to deal with her grief by clinging on tightly to what she knows – in short, she’s seeing her dead sister everywhere she goes. Not only seeing her… but having full on conversations with her. As Emily’s presence becomes more overwhelming, the line between happiness and delusion becomes blurred.
How do you truly let go of someone when you imagined they’d be there forever?
A tender, smartly constructed play that packs an emotional punch. Denny’s writing is honest, funny, and deeply felt”
