and by David Mamet directed by Kent Nicholson

THE WATER ENGINE: In the style of the best 1934 radio potboilers, The Water Engine pits one man's dreams against the dangers of corporate enterprise.

MR. HAPPINESS: In the dead of night, Mr. Happiness delivers advice to the troubled and lonely through the faceless radio. But is he all that he seems?
