Happy Ending is a comedy set in a suburban shopping Centre. Louise is a woman in her forties, with a young son, Eric, and a husband who we never actually meet. She conceives a passionate attachment for Lu, a young male masseur at a Chinese Massage joint in a large suburban Shopping Centre. Alternatively encouraged and discouraged by her girl-friend Liliana, Louise ferociously pursues her desire, enlisting the help of a Mandarin-speaking Australian Businessman and his Chinese boy-friend, and earning the scorn of  Jie, the self-possessed and opinionated owner of the massage business. Happy Ending is a comedy about desire, obsession and laziness. It is written to be performed in English and Mandarin.
