“An enjoyably lunatic endeavor”– Chicago Tribune

“Goosed by precise, masterful performances, Maher’s text is almost endlessly engaging and frequently hilarious.”– Time Out Chicago

After three acclaimed runs in Chicago, Theater Oobleck presents the New York City premiere of Mickle Maher’s THERE IS A HAPPINESS THAT MORNING IS at The Tank, as part of the annual Flint & Tinder theater series. The production features original cast members Diana Slickman, Colm O’Reilly, and Kirk Anderson.

A comedy in rhymed verse, THERE IS A HAPPINESS THAT MORNING IS is told via two lectures on the poetry of William Blake: one given in the morning by Bernard, a middle-aged, barely published poet of scant scholarship, and the other in the afternoon by his lover, Ellen, a reputable Ph.D. Having engaged the evening before in a highly inappropriate display of public affection on the main lawn of their rural New England campus, the two lecturers must now, in class, either apologize for their behavior or effectively justify it if they want to keep their jobs.
