GOOD THINGS

a comedy

by Liz Lochhead

 

49-year-old Susan is going through what is generally described as a bit of a rough patch. Her husband has left her for a much younger woman, she has lost her job, her father is slipping into senility, and her teenage daughter is behaving like-well-a teenager.

Now she's volunteering in a resale shop, and maintaining a (mostly) cheerful determination not to fall into victimhood.

Susan's co-workers, the nurturing Frazer, and the micro-managing Marjorie, are eager to see Susan's life sorted out in appropriately fairy-tale fashion. They've encouraged her attempts at online and speed-dating, though she herself is less than enthusiastic. It hasn't worked out very well so far; she's currently having to dodge the attentions of one particularly creepy match-up.

And then into the shop comes David, a widower of about Susan's age, and a genuinely good guy. It isn't quite the Hollywood-meet-cute that it sounds, though. Susan has been having a singularly bad day, and she vents her frustrations on David, who is very much taken aback. Is this potential relationship doomed before it even starts?
