Happiness Ltd

A Bike Shed Theatre and New Model Theatre Production in association with Theatre Royal Plymouth and Salisbury Playhouse and UK tour 2017-2018

When video game designer Vi broke up with Becky, she used what she knew. She wrote herself a list. A list of the little things. The everyday things. The achievable things. She turned piecing herself back together into a game. Just for her.

When her rambunctious colleague Tyler begins to play along, however, he sees an opportunity. Not just to make money but perhaps to rid the world of clinical depression once and for all.

Happiness Ltd is the new play by acclaimed Plymouth playwright Tom Nicholas. It asks prescient questions about depression, ambition and how one measures the success, or otherwise, of a life.

“Interesting theatrical flourishes in the direction. Scenes set in the midst of online battles are vibrant and skilfully choreographed…

there’s an incredible amount of energy in the performance, even the quieter scenes seem to fizz nervously”

Exeunt Magazine

“a clever observation on a modern phenomenon”
