(This Is Not) A Happy Room

You can’t choose your family, but if you could, you wouldn’t choose this one.

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.
