The Holland Festival kicks off with the British production of Happy Days by Samuel Beckett (1906-1989), in which a middle-aged woman is buried in sand up to her waist. Everything that she needs lies within her reach: a pocket mirror, a toothbrush, an umbrella and a pistol. Untiringly optimistic, she is determined to love life, even when only her head remains above the sand. The Irish actress Fiona Shaw plays one of Beckett’s most famous characters in collaboration with Deborah Warner, her regular director.
