A father learns that closing the door to his past means shutting his daughter out in Good Enemy, Yilong Liu’s ”gripping and undeniably important world premiere” (Theatermania) now playing at the Minetta Lane Theatre. 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 together two generations and two continents amidst 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.
“With a serious mind, an inventive spirit, and a goofball heart, Good Enemy is a mélange of a play about getting a second chance, and being wise enough to grab it,” cheers The New York Times. Do the wise thing and get your tickets today! Unlock tickets from $45 now using code GPCC25.

Don't miss an all AAPI production of HENRY VI: A Trilogy in Two Parts at The Public in NYC
The National Asian American Theatre Company’s acclaimed production of HENRY VI: A TRILOGY IN TWO PARTS brings an all-AANHPI cast to The Public Theater for a decades-spanning saga of Joan of Arc, warring dukes, and the bloody birth of the War of the Roses. Adapted by Stephen Brown-Fried, this is Shakespeare like you've never experienced it.
Part 1: Foreign Wars opens with a king dead, an infant on the throne, and a country already coming apart at the seams. Part 2: Civil Strife picks up nearly 30 years later...and the bloodbath is yet to come. Simmering feuds explode into the War of the Roses, and nothing will ever be the same. Performances from June 9 through July 19!
