Happy Place

Seven women. Seven stories. One community. From a Winnipeg-born, award-winning playwright, this brave and touching play explores and celebrates the courage, compassion and humour of a group of women living together in an in-patient care facility for women dealing with trauma. Each has her own story, her own reasons for being there, but the community they build together has an effect beyond what any therapist can offer, as they learn that only when you find compassion for yourself, can you offer it to someone else. Constantly moving between humour and wrenching emotion, Happy Place is a sincere and contemporary look at mental illness and the never-straight path to healing.
