Happy Hour is a modern urban tale set in a pub, tackling female friendship, class, and male entitlement with darkly comic humour, from exciting new dramatist, Liv Fowler.

Chloe and Emily are catching up at the pub. Bezzies since they were 15, Chloe just got her big break as a graphic designer in Central London, and Emily recently got her first pet with her partner Ben. However, the only issue is that Emily just accidentally killed a man behind the back of the pub. Processing what the heck just happened, the pair try to navigate the situation. We find out that he was sexually harassing Emily, so she acted in self-defence. Then Emily confronts Chloe: she recently found old MSN messages suggesting that Ben slept with Chloe 8 years ago. Is it true? Confused and disorientated, the two women debate their options - confess or cover up? And can they remain friends? When they look outside to check on the body, suddenly everything changes...
