Weapons Of Happiness
by Howard Brenton
Highlights
Synopsis
Weapons of Happiness is a 1976 political play by Howard Brenton about a strike in a London crisp factory.
The play makes use of a dramatic conceit whereby the Czech communist cabinet minister Josef Frank is imagined alive in the 1970s (in real-life he was hanged in 1952), and his hallucinations of life in Stalinist Czechoslovakia interweave with the main plot.
