The New York Times
A father learns that closing the door to his past means shutting his daughter out in Good Enemy, Yilong Liu’s “urgent and gripping” (The Front Row Center) 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 this powerfully relatable joy ride, Good Enemy explores the power of human connections, affirming that no one lives an “ordinary” life, no matter how hard they might try.
