A Shortcut to Happiness
![](https://tasaonline.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ASTH.jpg)
A SA premiere of a delightful, insightful story set in Adelaide in 2018 about a disillusioned Russian migrant, Natasha, who starts a folk-dancing class to supplement her earnings as a cleaner while she perfects her English and studies to become a music teacher. Unlike the locals, Natasha is blunt and tactless. She doesn’t see her new country through rose-tinted glasses. Her dance class attracts some oddball seniors: two widows desperate to find eligible men, a retired couple who fill their days with classes, and a recent widower named Ned.
Sebastian, a suave handsome stranger, arrives and sweeps the women off their feet.
Ned is pure old-school – a gentleman, but no fool. Does he fall for Natasha? Are they destined for each other? Will their romance be thwarted?
Packed with Roger Hall’s trademarks of acute observation and bucket-loads of humour, this play is about discovering the ways of a new country, accepting differences, finding love and dancing your way to happiness.
