Theatre6, in association with MokitaGrit Productions, present Mr Happiness and The Water Engine; a double bill of Pulitzer Prize winning David Mamet’s classic plays set in 1930’s America. We invite our audience into the mysterious caverns of The Old Vic Tunnels to see this hotly anticipated production.
West End star David Burt is Mr Happiness, the American agony uncle of Old Time Radio. Our host takes the audience on a journey, as Mr Happiness helps solve problems from letters across the country: some tragic, some funny, all of them compelling.
The Water Engine is a radio thriller where young inventor Charles Lang creates a machine so brilliant that it will change the world forever; an engine that runs on water. Looking only to protect his invention and provide a better life for his sister Rita, Charles must triumph over the life-threatening Oberman and his conglomerate to give this marvel to the world, but at what price.
These rarely performed works are by award winning American writer David Mamet, whose catalogue of plays include Speed-the-Plow, Glengarry Glen Ross and Sexual Perversity in Chicago, and films include The Untouchables, Wag the Dog and The Verdict.
