Good as New
Author(s):
Peter Hedges
GOOD AS NEW follows the disintegration of an educated, affluent Chicago family--parents and teenage daughter--following Mom’s face-lift. Devastated by what she views as a violation of who her mother is--an enlightened feminist--the daughter confronts Mom. Mom in turn blurts out that she took the nip-and-tuck route because she’s losing Dad and suspects he is having an affair. Further shattered, the girl now engages in a face-off with her father, who defends himself by saying Mom has also "wandered." The first act, three two-person scenes in the family car, plants the seeds of upheaval; the second act, a single long scene for all three in the parents’ bedroom, lets it explode.
