World Première of
Whispering Happiness
Kenneth Emson
Director: Hannah Tyrrell-Pinder
"Come closer, some things need to be whispered..."
In a deserted playground two teenagers while away the hours. The arrival of a mysterious figure offers them a scrap of hope, a chance to escape their future. But what choices are left when every decision has already been made?
The second play in Kenneth Emson’s ongoing Town/Country trilogy, Whispering Happiness is a provocative urban fairytale, a vivid exploration of inner city violence and isolation.
