Happy Chappy

Happy Chappy, is a play written by Sander Cohen, that was shown in the footlight theatre. Doubtless, it is one of the propaganda orientated plays produced by Cohen for Ryan promoting the lie that Rapture was on the 'rise'. When contrasted with other literiture found lying around Rapture, such as the Rapture tribune's headline, "recent bloodshed causes panic", this paints a very contrasting picture of Rapture, with a government covering up civil strife with popular entertainment propaganda. This is illustrated by Anna Culpepper:

''Cohen's not a musician. He's Ryan's stable boy. Ryan's corrupt policies crap all over the place, and Cohen flutters around clearing it up. But instead of using a shovel, like you would with a proper mule, Cohen fidies with a catchy melody and a clever turn of phrase. But no matter how nicely it sounds, he can't really do anything about the smell...''

This highlights the propaganda element to Cohen's plays, portraying a rather totalitarianist government as opposed to a "free industry" government which Ryam promoted.
