Description: On his graduation day in 1978, John looks back over his teenage years with warmth, remembering the joys, tensions and sorrows of family life in West Yorkshire. John, now older and educated, finds himself alienated from his working-class family who cannot understand his theatrical aspirations. 'Happy Families', first produced in 1991, is an affectionate look at a ordinary family struggling with change.
