Rakvere Theatre begins rehearsals for Good Things

Rakvere Theatre has begun rehearsals for the comedy Good Things, directed by Peeter Raudsepp and due to open in January, ERR reported.

The romantic comedy by Scottish playwright Liz Lochhead takes place in a second-hand shop piled with things people have given up, no longer need or have failed to appreciate. Susan, a middle-aged divorcee, believes her own best days are behind her. At the shop, she meets a man who may give her the chance to start a relationship again.

Raudsepp described the play as a warm, humorous story about losing hope, finding love and discovering that life can still hold surprises. He said two actors take on a total of 10 roles, bringing a cast of quirky, spirited characters into the shop. In his view, community helps people climb out of difficult times and learn to love the good people around them again.

Mari Klein translated the play into Estonian. The cast includes Ülle Lichtfeldt, Silja Miks, Madis Mäeorg and Tarvo Sõmer. Good Things is scheduled to premiere at Rakvere Theatre’s main building on January 23, 2026.
