The production will run at the King’s Head Theatre from the 26th March until the 27th April.
Casting has been announced for the world premiere of Rosie Day’s (This is Not A) Happy Room, which will head to the stage this spring.
Directed by Hannah Price, it has been confirmed that Amanda Abbington and Rosie Day will reunite for this world premiere, having previously worked together on When It Happens to You at London’s Park Theatre. Full casting has yet to be confirmed.
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?
Talking about the news, Rosie Day said: “(This is not a) Happy Room is a very farcical dark comedy about the most dysfunctional of families, it’s going to be a riot to put on. I can’t wait to bring it to the King’s Head Theatre.”
Meanwhile, Amanda Abbington commented: ““I have admired Rosie’s writing since Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon, so when she mentioned she was creating a brand-new play I had to read it. The script is hilarious and utterly gripping, I can’t wait to further explore the Henderson’s chaotic family dynamic and bring them to life on stage.”
The creative team includes: Sound Design: Adrienne Quartly; Lighting Design: Rory Beaton and Set and Costume Design: Georgia de Grey.
