The Estonian Youth Theatre presents the play 'We Will See Simon!', which marks the directorial debut of Getter Meresmaa. This production dives into the lives of special needs individuals, particularly focusing on a teenage boy named Simon who has muscular dystrophy. The story is adapted from a novel by New Zealand author David Hill, told through the perspective of Simon’s best friend, Nathan. The play is both poignant and engaging, capturing the delicate balance between humor and the challenges of its themes, which include illness and loss.

The choice of materials in the production is particularly commendable, as it draws from a novel that not only provides a touching narrative but also includes a rich layer of comedy that resonates with the audience. The dramatization by Roos Lisette Parmas manages to encapsulate the essence of Hill's work while also integrating creative adaptations that enhance its impact. It represents a commendable effort to engage with an audience on topics that are often sensitive, yet necessary for broader discussions around disability and human experience.

As part of a growing trend in Estonian theater, 'We Will See Simon!' is one of several productions that addresses the complexities of life for individuals with special needs. The successful execution of this play highlights the need for sensitivity in storytelling while simultaneously providing entertainment. The production not only entertains but also helps to foster understanding and empathy, making it a significant contribution to current theatrical discussions in Estonia and beyond.
