'Roland Makepeace knows what makes people happy.
Why wouldn't he? He's an eminent professor of
psychology who has devoted his life to scientifically
investigating human well-being. But his theories are
sorely tested when his wife meets an old suitor and his
daughter threatens to go right off the rails. This sharply
observed comedy suggests that theory can sometimes
fall well short of reality and that finding happiness is
easier said than done.' (Source: Ensemble Theatre website)
