"Ah well, what matter, that's what
I always say, it will have been
a happy day, after all,
another happy day"

Happy Days and Scaramouche Jones will be performed as part of the Masque Theatre on Tour mini-season during February 2012. The productions will be staged at three venues in the Northampton area. The tour is part of Masque Theatre's 80th anniversary celebrations.

Happy Days is Beckett's 'happy' play. At the beginning we meet Winnie, a chatty, constantly optimistic housewife who happens to be buried up to her waist in rubbish. Winnie takes us through her day… the bell for waking and the bell for sleeping, the bag that contains all the elements that make up her life. And then there’s her husband Willie who is always just out of sight.

One of Beckett's less-performed plays, Happy Days is a funny, beautiful and sad comment on the nature of existence and how so many of us allow our lives to consume us.

At the end, Winnie is up to her neck but she still assures us that this will be another 'Happy Day'.
