    Since the Lantern's first ever production of Beckett's Waiting for Godot in 1994, we've built a reputation for approaching major works in new ways. So whether you're a fan of the absurd or seek out more conventional drama, you won't want to miss our Happy Days, Beckett's groundbreaking character struggle to maintain cheerfulness in the face of ridiculous difficulties. Winnie, the optimist against all odds, fights for survival in this surprisingly funny, affecting production perfect for the Lantern's intimate space.
