A SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD. TITLE
Full-Length Play, Dark Comedy / 2w, 1m
Naomi Denny
A dark comedy about the power of sisterhood and grief, told through a Global Majority lens.
Sienna is trying to survive her grief by clinging tightly to what she knows. In short, she is seeing her dead sister Emily everywhere she goes. Not just glimpses – the two are closer than ever. Emily’s always been Sienna’s favourite person to talk to, and she’s not going to let a small thing like being dead get in the way.
As Sienna’s illusion deepens, it begins to fracture her relationships: with her boyfriend, her job, and her mother. What starts as comfort becomes destabilising, and the boundary between happiness and illusion begins to blur.
All The Happy Things is a dark comedy about sisterhood, love, and letting go of someone when you expected they’d be there forever.
