Make Someone Happy is something of a hybrid in today’s world of live theatre: part fairy tale, part French farce and part pulp fiction. In two madcap acts, the play delves probably way too deeply into the quest for ordinary people to find true love—for someone else. In this case, a son seeks to find a suitable soulmate for his recently widowed mother, and she seeks to return the favor by doing exactly the same thing for her only child. What could possibly go wrong? A sea captain, an emerging playwright, a pushy editor and a reclusive poet round out the cast, providing sound and unsound advice, friendship, personal tales of woe, lots of laughs, and perhaps even a touch of sanity in a world gone more than a little mad and desperately in need of something, or someone , to love.
