"A perfectly pitched solo" The Irish Times

Both disturbing and funny, Happy Hour is a piece about drinking and what happens in a bar.

A foaming pint of movement and text reveal the state of bitter England, all from the mouth of a barmaid on a bender. As the night wears on and the drink takes hold, bar stool philosophy turns to bar floor desperation.

London-based Wendy Houstoun brings Happy Hour back to Dublin after successful worldwide touring. Houstoun’s collaborative and solo works have been awarded internationally, in New York, Australia and Italy; she is currently Artist in Residence at Greenwich Dance Agency, London. In addition to her own work, Houstoun has performed with DV8, Forced Entertainment and has mentored artists in Australia and Ireland, as well as in the U.K.
