The pursuit of happiness is rarely linear, nor is it a quest with a final destination we can identify.

This theme runs through English playwright Alan Ayckbourn's fast-paced comedy of the well-to-do Stratton family in The Time of My Life, playing at the Actors Theatre Playhouse for nine performances from Sept. 12 through Sept. 28, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m.
