Extensive New Look At MTC's THE WORLD OF EXTREME HAPPINESS

By:

A fresh montage of clips from THE WORLD OF EXTREME HAPPINESS!

A new video promo for Manhattan Theatre Club's upcoming drama THE WORLD OF EXTREME HAPPINESS is now available to view featuring several scenes from the new Off-Broadway drama.

The official description of THE WORLD OF EXTREME HAPPINESS is as follows: "The MTC cast of The World of Extreme Happiness features Francis Jue (M. Butterfly, "The Good Wife"), Telly Leung ("Glee," Godspell), Jennifer Lim (Chinglish, This Isn't Romance at London's Soho Theatre), Jo Mei (New York stage debut and star of the acclaimed independent film A Picture of You), James Saito (Golden Child, "Life of Pi"), and Sue Jin Song (Paula Vogel's Hot 'n Throbbing). Unwanted from the moment she's born, Sunny (Jennifer Lim) is determined to escape her life in rural China and forge a new identity in the city. As naïve as she is ambitious, Sunny views her new job in a grueling factory as a stepping stone to untold opportunities. When fate casts her as a company spokeswoman at a sham PR event, Sunny's bright outlook starts to unravel in a series of harrowing and darkly comic events, as she begins to question a system enriching itself by destroying its own people. Critically acclaimed in a workshop production at London's National Theatre, The World of Extreme Happiness makes its world premiere in a co-production with Chicago's Goodman Theatre. "Hard-hitting and bruisingly funny" (Time Out London), this epic new drama by Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig is as fierce and unflinching as the world it examines. Eric Ting directs. Opening night for this co-production with Chicago's Goodman Theatre is Tuesday, February 24, 2015."
