"Guys, you don’t have to worry - this is a happy story! It is SO happy. If it were a food it would be Skittles, if it were a day it would be Friday night, if it were a thing it would be a really cute puppy! It is really, really, really happy. It’s got a happy ending, it’s got a happy middle, everything turns out OK and everyone lives happily ever after. This is a happy story. But it’s also one that’s about depression."
Sally is a happy person, but she's also got an illness - one that makes her feel like she isn't the person she wants to be. Written by Jon Brittain with music by Matthew Floyd Jones, A Super Happy Story (About Feeling Super Sad) is about getting better, and our fear of what other people think. Mixing elements of storytelling, live music and sketch comedy, it's a fun, silly and sad show for anyone who has a brain that hasn't always been on their side.
