Happy Days is a play in two acts, written by Samuel Beckett first performed in 1961.[1][2] Viewed positively by critics, it was named in The Independent as one of the 40 best plays of all time.[3]
Winnie, buried to her waist, follows her daily routine and prattles to her husband, Willie, who is largely hidden and taciturn. Her frequent refrain is "Oh this is a happy day." Later, in Act II, she is buried up to her neck, but continues to talk and remember happier days.
