ĪSTI RIETUMI is a play by Sam Shepard in Riga at Dailes teātris from 10 December 2026 to 17 January 2027. This one-act performance is in Latvian with English surtitles; rows 8–14 are recommended for easier surtitles reading. Two brothers meet in their mother’s empty house on the outskirts of Los Angeles: Austin is a hardworking screenwriter, while Lee lives on the margins of society. Their competing ideas for a screenplay to sell in Hollywood turn the American dream into a darkly humorous duel. The cast includes Toms Veličko, Niklāvs Kurpnieks, Vita Vārpiņa and Lauris Subatnieks. Directed by Mateušs Staņaks. The performance takes place in Dailes teātris’ New Hall at 75 Brīvības iela, Riga.
