Good Boys by Jane Martin, Presented by MINNESOTA SHAKES
Show dates: Aug. 21 - Sept. 7, 2009
Description: Bill Gorman and Eric Wood play the patriarchs of two families--one white, one African American--in the aftermath of a Columbine-like school massacre suffered 8 years earlier. Both lost sons, one of whom was the killer.
The play concerns forgiveness. In the face of terrible guilt under terrible circumstances, a father seeks out another father. One is a minister who lost both a son and his vocation with the shootings. The other father tries living life after his son killed 8 students, and then himself. It is a raw, tragic story, with hope at play's end, appearing as a nuanced possibility.
