All I Want Is To Be Happy Sometimes

  • Anthony Albright: All I Want Is To Be Happy Sometimes by Jacob Margaret Archer
    “

    A taut, emotionally honest ensemble drama, All I Want Is To Be Happy Sometimes shines in its portrayal of queer friendship, burnout, chosen family, and the fragile hope young trans people cling to. The overlapping dialogue crackles, the structure is inventive, and the characters feel painfully real. A strong, resonant piece for theatres seeking contemporary queer work with heart, humor, and devastating stakes.
