An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books
Set in 1942 at the height of World War II, We Happy Few follows an eccentric group of young women who form an all-female Shakespeare company determined to bring theater to the English countryside while the men are away at war. With wit, heart, and resilience, they struggle through rationing, blackouts, and the skepticism of small-town audiences—yet discover the transformative power of art, friendship, and laughter in the darkest of times.
This moving and comedic play celebrates the courage of ordinary women who dared to keep culture alive, proving that even in the midst of war, the show must go on.
