Love And Happiness
Julian Sheppard
Alfred is happy about his life.
He's happy with his job.
He's happy with his marriage.
He's even happily raising his special needs daughter.
However when his best friend invites him to meet the latest woman in his life things spin out of control.
"90 wild and intriguing minutes! Caisley’s script is funny, deliberately unnerving, full of smart dialogue and stinging rejoinders."
— Christine Dolen, The Miami Herald
"Dinner-disaster dramedy on a grand scale. [Caisley] successfully engineers a transition from uncomfortable comedy of un-manners to full-blown psychodrama – doing so in a much more elegant and complex way than Yasmina Reza’s God of Carnage."
— John Thomason, Miami New Times
"The suspense builds tantalizingly as we peer inside the disturbing world of [Caisley’s] characters."
— Ronni Reich, The Star Ledger
"Eva is perhaps the most vicious, cruel, vindictive, and thoroughly hateable character I’ve encountered on stage in years, and she’s also one of the most fascinating. Just a truly excellent new play…that resembles Broadway hits like God of Carnage, which Happy ultimately surpasses, and even has thematic links to Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
— David Templeton, KRCB
"Edgy entertainment."
— Michael Sommers, The New York Times
