“Happy Everyday!” is a witty comedy, which seems totally absurd at first glance: a wife informs her husband that she is in love and asks him to arrange a ménage à trois. However, all is not as it seems…
“Happy Everyday!” is written by an acclaimed Estonian playwright Jaan Tätte, whose first play “The Highway Crossing” was a critical success both in and outside Estonia. In 2006, the UK premiere of “The Highway Crossing”, directed by Liisa Smith, was listed as Critic's Choice in Time Out London, and sparked further interest in Tätte's work.
