The Happy Idea by Adé Adémola at 45th Street Theatre


The Xoregos Performing Company presents the World Premiere of The Happy Idea, by Adé Adémola, at 45th Street Theatre from the 8 - 18 Jun 2006.

The Happy Idea follows 3 characters, living at Mrs. B.�s flat in 1980�s London, where they have found the comfort of 'home'. Amongst them is a cabaret singer, a failed actor writing his �memoirs�, the elegant proprietress Mrs. B and a new, mysterious stranger whose elusiveness prompts all sorts of gossip and hyperbole concerning his earlier years possibly as a rent boy. When the actor claims to have nefariously known the stranger in his past it turns friends into enemies and enemies into�something else.

The cast for The Happy Idea, directed by Shela Xoregos, features Marilyn Bernard, Lawrence Merritt, Stephanie Stone and Lino Delcore.

The production has set design by Cameron Caley, costumes by Elgie Chevalier and lighting by Blythe Pittman.
