"If The Good Son can ultimately be described as an addiction drama, then it is almost certainly unlike any of those that you may have seen before, because it is genuinely funny at times, as well as being deeply felt in its thematic concerns, not merely an old-fashioned morality play or socially-conscious-slice-of-life. It is fully deserving of the three ovations that were demanded of the cast on opening night."
"...while the drama doesn’t depend for its effect on surprising us with twists — the richly verisimilar writing and carefully opaque characterisations ensure that it doesn’t have to — it is a carefully layered play that, correctly, resists our attempts to peer down into its lower strata as we move more deeply through it."
"One of the reasons the play sits well is that these four characters are not only believable but they also are, in their way, likeable. They feel real."
Corey McMahon and Renato Mussolino from The Other Ones discuss The Good Son.
