The Happy Marriage
by John Clements

The Happy Marriage is as gay as its title suggests. Based by John Clements on Le Complex de Philemon by Jean Bernard Luc, it provided him and his wide Kay Hammond with one of the most successful comedies they have had.

The play, charmingly set in a Roof Garden, is witty and full of amusing situations, and will provide playgoers with an evening of lighthearted entertainment.
