Samuel Beckett’s critically acclaimed final play, essentially a two-hour tragicomic monologue, is a tour-de-force for a commanding actress. In an ambiguous setting, Winnie is embedded waist-deep, surrounded by a few familiar objects, including her purse and a gun. Seemingly oblivious of her predicament, she chats away as her taciturn husband hovers silently nearby. Resisting easy interpretation, Happy Days contemplaties themes of time, desperation, marriage, disappointment and personal responsibility.
