Escape from Happiness

George F. Walker’s Escape from Happiness is a darkly funny, sharply observed play that dives into the messy, complicated lives of people who are trying — and often failing — to get things right. Set in a world that feels uncomfortably close to our own, the play explores family, relationships, and the quiet chaos that simmers beneath everyday conversations. Walker is known for his razor-sharp dialogue and unflinching honesty, blending humour with moments that are raw, unsettling, and deeply human. Escape from Happiness captures that signature style.
