Happy

Edinburgh 2026

The show is called Happy and it is a one-man show about an actor (Dylan J Murphy) auditioning for the role of Happy Loman in an upcoming production of Death of a Salesman. After the audition goes poorly, he attempts to convince the casting director (the audience) that he's right for the part. Connecting personal stories and relationships with Miller's tragic characters, Dylan forces the audience to question whether he's right for the role, whether it really matters and whether or not he can truly be... happy.
