Happy Days, Samuel Beckett's two act, two character play about desolation and an enduring human spirit, begins its first weekend of performances tonight at the Loeb. This is the Summer Repertory Theater's last production of the season, and its most difficult one. Sustaining an actionless duologue is no simple feat, but the play manages to carry it off.

Rosenberg is an amateur literary bloodhound who once made his living heading off plagiarism suits for a film company-by proving that both plaintiff and defendant had stolen from older sources.
