The Happiest Place on Earth written by Philip Dawkins, dramatized by Tia Shearer. In his humorous and thoughtful solo show, Dawkins ponders Disneyland and family tragedy. He retraces and illustrates the true story of the women in his family, exploring their history and asking if there really is a place where the dream that we wish for can come true.
