Hands up Who’s Happy?

Originally commissioned by the Victoria Wood Foundation and Bury’s ‘Happy Festival’, HANDS UP WHO’S HAPPY? is a fast-paced, thought provoking, laugh out loud comedy.

As part of their commitment to community outreach, Bury Art Museum have sent casual gallery-assistant, Carl, to The Whitaker Museum (Julie Walters turned the gig down). He attempts to deliver a celebratory presentation, exploring the lasting legacy of local museums, and bigging-up some of the icons that have put Bury on the map; but his assumptions and long-held beliefs are challenged by a feisty young woman, Sam, who refuses to let Carl ignore the realities of history, the role of arts in society and the nature of happiness in the 21st Century.
