(This is not A) Happy Room
King's Head Theatre, London
A happy room is not where the family is…
Starting Wednesday 26 March 2025
You can’t choose your family, but if you could, you wouldn’t choose this one.
Meet the Hendersons, a happily dysfunctional family, reuniting for their dad’s third (or fourth?) wedding. But nobody expects the death of his bachelorhood to become an actual funeral… It would be a waste of the hotel function room not to repurpose it, right?
Hailed as Saltburn meets Schitt's Creek, this is Rosie Day’s second play after Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon which premiered at Southwark Playhouse before transferring to The Garrick. With Day’s signature ‘laugh-a-minute’ humour (WhatsOnStage), her new, searingly sharp dark comedy premieres at the King's Head in March 2025.
