Good Things
New romantic comedy from ‘Scotlands greatest dramatist’ (Scotland on Sunday), a massive hit at the Tron, Glasgow and on tour in 2004. Ever felt like a walking cliche? Susan, suddenly single and with the dreaded 5-0 glaring her in the face, has an Old Dad in his second childhood, a daughter in the throes of aggravated adolescence and an ex who, unfortunately, still has the power to wound…Set exclusively in the Charity Shop where she’s a volunteer, Good Things is a poignant, hilarious, play with a lot to say about love the second time.
Reviews of Good Things
"'…the artful way Liz Lochhead takes us there in her delightful new play is as funny, as touching, and yet as emotionally true as anything this supremely humane writer has yet produced.' The Times *****; '…popular theatre that tackles a real contemporary issue with terrific theatrical energy and skill….' Joyce McMillan The Scotsman ****; '…a pan-generational smash hit in the waiting.' The Herald *****"
