‘Happy’, a new piece by Bosnian playwright Igor Memic,will perform at Liverpool Lantern Theatre on August 14th.
"Happy" challenges the perceptions of happiness in a less than perfect society.
Dire circumstance is juxtaposed against an aesthetic of overt happiness - a happiness bought and sold in bottles. Premiering at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Late August, the company will be hosting a one night preview of the show at Liverpool's Lantern Theatre on Tuesday the 14th of August.
Using experimental dramatic techniques and unorthodox rehearsal methods, Municipal Theatre London will deliver a show in which audience members won't know whether to laugh, cry, or be sick. Happy challenges, at its very core, the Aristotelian understanding of true happiness through a post-modern approach to theatre aesthetic and contemporary drama.
The company would like to extend an invite to members of the press and theatre industry who are
available on Tuesday the 14th of August for a 19:30 showing at Liverpool's Lantern Theatre, Blundell Street. A brief Q&A session with the play's director, writer, and actors will take place
directly after the performance.
Dealing with topics such as happiness, rape, domestic abuse, drug abuse, suicide, as well as banking and the world economy, Happy is sure to be a play with a firm place in the public interest. Coverage from all media organisations, big or small, is very much welcome.
