An incredibly beautiful love story in the midst of the most heartbreaking moment. Marvelously done with a perfect ending!

Sweet and uplifting, GREATER GOOD gives us a short look at a particularly difficult moment in any young couples’ lives. Donna Hoke masterfully balances the stakes at hand with the needs and aspirations of her characters. The wisecracking homeless woman adds some much-needed brevity that creates a fun theatrical experience. Would love to see it staged! #PlaywrightPlug
