A Super Happy Story (About Feeling Super Sad)

Edinburgh 2026

Sally’s a happy person. She doesn’t let little things get her down and almost never cries. But she’s got an illness. It makes her feel like she isn’t the person she wants to be, but she doesn’t want anyone to know about it. Written by Oliver winner Jon Brittain (Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder!) with music by Matthew Floyd Jones (Frisky and Mannish), prepare for a hilarious cabaret musical about depression that talks about how it’s OK to not be OK. This will be a stripped-back version of the hit show.
