‘What is happiness?

Can you measure it?

Do I need it?

Can I have too much?

Is it good for me?

How long does it last for?’

A Happiness Project has been developed from a simple idea: what is happiness – especially when you are a teenage boy?

Using themselves as a starting point, the company reflected on their own experiences and imagined stories and characters in order to try and explore this question.

From a boy trying to talk to a girl to becoming a superhero, these small adventures have been collected entirely by the boys’ ideas and research.

The boys have had the opportunity to work alongside both professional Music Designer Tristan Parkes to compose original songs and work with Sound designer Roly Botha.

We thank Richard Weinman, Joseph Fraser, Hugh Silver, Simone Jones and Dawn-Morris Wolffe for their help in directing and producing the play.
