A hilarious interrogation of what makes Paolo happy and he must rate it for his prison guards. When he's at his most happy, a ten, will he achieve freedom? Dark and well done.

Hoke unfurls the dramatic irony of "Are You Happy Here?" slowly and with care. Through finely detailed dialogue, the audience will see the other shoe hovering overhead, ready to drop. It's a shame for Paolo that he doesn't. This is marvelous dark comedy.

A fun and thought provoking look at what it takes to be truly happy.
