Brief Overview

The play «Happy Days» by Samuel Beckett is an absurdist drama where the main character, Winnie, finds herself buried up to her waist, and later up to her neck, in the ground. She spends her days trying to maintain optimism and normalcy despite her strange and hopeless situation. Her husband, Willie, is nearby, but their communication is minimal. Winnie tries to stick to her daily routine, using various items from her bag to distract herself and uphold the illusion of a normal life. The play explores themes of isolation, routine, and human resilience in the face of absurdity and inevitability.
