ON THE OTHER HAND, WE’RE HAPPY
By Daf James
A single Dad meets his adopted daughter for the first time. A few days later, he agrees to meet her birth-mother.
When their two worlds collide, will what they have in common outweigh their differences?
A one-off meeting. But three lives will be changed forever.
ON THE OTHER HAND, WE’RE HAPPY is a tender, funny, hopeful play about being a mum when your name is Dad.
Written by Daf James, award-winning writer, composer and performer. His first play LLWYTH [Tribe] was described as ‘a water-shed play that changed the landscape of Welsh language theatre forever.’
