(This is not a) Happy Room

Meet the Hendersons, a happily dysfunctional family, reuniting for their dad’s third (or fourth?) wedding. But nobody expects the death of his bachelorhood to become an actual funeral… It would be a waste of the hotel function room not to repurpose it, right?

Hailed as Saltburn meets Schitt’s Creek, this is Rosie Day’s second play after Instructions for a Teenage Armageddon which premiered at Southwark Playhouse before transferring to The Garrick. With Day’s signature ‘laugh-a-minute’ humour (WhatsOnStage), her new, searingly sharp dark comedy premieres at the King’s Head in March 2025.

(This is not a) Happy Room stars writer Rosie Day (Outlander), Amanda Abbington (Sherlock), and Jonny Weldon (One Day).
