Full cast and creative team announced for Samuel Beckett’s HAPPY DAYS at Riverside Studios

Anthology Theatre have today announced the full cast and creative team involved in the 60th anniversary production of Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days, running at Riverside Studios from 11 June-25 July 2021.

Directed by Trevor Nunn, Simon Wolfe will play Willie, alongside the previously announced Lisa Dwan as Winnie.

Completing the creative team are designer Robert Jones, lighting designer Tim Mitchell, and sound designer Johnny Edwards.

Winnie takes comfort in the monotony of her existence, passing the time by completing routine tasks, her blithe and buoyant manner allowing her to believe ‘another happy day’ is occurring. But ritual and a sunny disposition can only keep Winnie’s head above the parapet for so long, before the futility of her and Willie’s existence threatens to engulf her completely.

This enduring, potent, and lively tale of existential limbo presents a playful, but poignant look, at human strength and survival amidst the most surreal of circumstances.

Samuel Beckett’s world-renowned play Happy Days is a spirited and triumphant revival most pertinent for our unparalleled times.
