    About this ebook

    A romantic comedy about finding love the second (or third or fourth) time, from 'Scotland's greatest living dramatist' Scotland on Sunday.

    Suddenly single and with the dreaded 'Big Five-0' staring her in the face, Susan also has to cope with a father in his second childhood, a daughter in the throes of aggravated adolescence and an ex who, unfortunately, still has the power to wound...

    Set in the charity shop where Susan's a volunteer, Good Things is a poignant, hilarious play with a lot to say about finding love later in life.

    'Delightful... as funny, as touching, and yet as emotionally true as anything this supremely humane writer has yet produced' - The Times****

    'A pan-generational smash hit in the making' - The Herald, Scotland

    'Popular theatre that tackles a real contemporary issue with terrific theatrical energy and skill' - Joyce McMillan Scotsman
