Company B presents a Malthouse Melbourne production
Forsyth's comic timing is exquisite (Carroll's too) and between them, they realise the full extent of Beckett's grave humour. Exceptional theatre. Don't miss it.

One of this year’s best performances in a Sydney theatre. Daily Telegraph
One of those unforgettable performances that is sure to be talked about for years to come. Sunday Telegraph
Forsyth is a once in a generation actor; unique, powerful, idiosyncratic, intelligent, playful, tender and unforgettable. She brings all these attributes to bear as Winnie ... It is an outstanding, heart-wrenching performance ... It's not to be missed.
Stage Noise
This is a great performance of a great play by two of our great actors.

Absurdist drama exploring eternal questions from Samuel Beckett
Wondrous vaudevilles of despair and loneliness have emerged from the brain of Samuel Beckett – theatrical creations that portray the human condition with compelling familiarity and strangeness. Hovering amongst these ruined worlds is the perky voice of a plump little woman uttering with insistent optimism: Winnie in Happy Days.
Half-buried in a mound of earth with a husband half-buried in his newspaper; Winnie has only her handbag and its associated activities for occupation. The sun beats down strongly on her head. Things almost get too much for her, but delight outweighs dismay every time. Though she keeps a revolver in reach; Winnie’s days are nearly all happy days.
Students who loved Julie Forsyth’s antics in Company B and Malthouse Melbourne’s 2007 Exit the King will glory in her Winnie in this tour de force of tragic clowning. Don’t let this opportunity to bring your Drama and English students to this rarely-performed classic of absurdist drama, slip by! The extraordinary staging – let alone the ideas, will make them marvel and wonder at the oddness of this little stretch of time we call life.
