Happiness

In Happiness Williamson takes a satricial look at the wellbeing movement. Roland, a successful academic psychologist, is an expert in the pursuit of happiness but finds he has trouble in his own life.

Dream Home follows Dana and Paul, whose dream turns into a nightmare when they discover their perfect beachside flat is festering with neighbours' grudges, death threats, come-ons, heart-to-hearts, the smell of oysters... and Paul's ex-girlfriend living upstairs in the throes of regret.

Cruise Control is a keenly observed comedy about three couples on the same voyage, each in the throes of a marital crisis. All have come on board in a last-ditch attempt to save their rocky marriages, but not surprisingly, it turns out to be not quite the healing journey they had in mind. Williamson says he was inspired to write Dream Home as he watched his children attempt to buy into the property market. The play centres on Paul and Dana who move into a highly mortgaged apartment, only to discover that they have nightmare neighbours.

Three philandering, bickering and workaholic couples board a cruise ship travelling from London to New York for seven days of marital healing.

Williamson has written his charm into a lovable loser who does his best to disprove the theory that nice guys always finish last.

Roland, a Professor of Wellbeing, and his cynical wife Hanna grapple with the elusiveness of the emotion.
