\u2018Nothing will lift your spirits more on a cold November night than to watch this play produced by Radyr Drama Society. HAPPY FAMILIES by JOHN GODBER does just that. From the start of the play until the final curtain it is filled with warmth, understanding and laughter. It is an affectionate and appealing portrait of John as his life unfurls from his young teenage years when he fails his 11+ through to his early twenties when he graduates. It\u2019s the portrait of an ordinary family struggling with change, sorrows, tensions and the joys of life in West Yorkshire\u2019.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
