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. 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.
