Good Enemy

De: Yilong Liu

Narrado por: Ron Domingo, Francis Jue, Tim Liu, Geena Quintos, Alec Silver, Ryan Spahn, Jeena Yi

A father learns that closing the door to his past means shutting his daughter out in Good Enemy, Yilong Liu’s haunting and hopeful new play.

When Howard makes a surprise cross-country trip to visit his college-aged, TikTok-loving daughter, he’s forced to confront the realities of their relationship and the rift between them—a rift caused by Howard’s refusal to face memories of his life as a young man in China.

In a smart, thrilling story that deftly weaves two generations and two continents amid sweeping social changes, Good Enemy explores the power of human connections...affirming that no one lives an “ordinary” life, no matter how hard they might try.

Ok story... meaning Excellent!

Hoping there will be more from Liu and this cast! Definitely would like more from How's diary; and by the way, how did he drive back to California without Dave?

Untold poignant story

Short and sweet production that shared Universal truths about the joy and heartbreak of familial relationships and how fear brings out the worst in us

Engrossing story about a parent’s life before parenthood

Do you remember the late 80’s and early nineties? This was so well performed. The themes really touched me at my stage of life. It references Tears for Fears so, that’s awesome as well.

Muy interesante

Me gustó mucho la actuación, la historia y los sonidos, es algo especial digo yo.

The story of Howard

Too much cursing and I wish Dave was different. But everything came together in the end

Great book

I really enjoyed this short story. A daughter wants to understand her father and mother, however does the father have secrets he doesn’t want her to know or is he afraid.

Locked up in the past

The author tells an intriguing story of a Chinese father on a road trip to see his daughter. They hadn't been close except during the pandemic when they were in touch about every day from across the country. Now they haven't communicated well because he is locked up inside about his life in China before he came to the United States. He confronts his past finally.

Beautiful story of identity and family

I think the story and narration were amazing in this performance. I had chills at times seeing my own experience reflected in the challenges the characters faced when confronting and sharing difficult pasts. Great work!

Heartbreakingly Beautiful!

This is a story of such love and heartbreak. A story of how we are all capable of loving and terrible acts. I cried, I laughed and at parts nearly puked at the horror of the state of the human condition.
