Press Reviews

"The hothouse atmosphere of all-male boarding schools has inspired a whole body of literature and drama exploring themes of friendship, romance, honor and betrayal…Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's GOOD BOYS AND TRUE is a solid addition to the canon. It's a suspenseful mystery, compassionate character study and moving love story rolled into one—and a fine showcase for an ensemble of first-rate actors.“—Chicago Reader. ”In his few years on the scene, the playwright Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has proven to be a natural entertainer. Actors like to sink their teeth into his dialogue, and his hard-charging stories proceed with the speed and verve of television. But he takes a leap forward with his latest drama, GOOD BOYS AND TRUE, displaying a new deftness in layering troubling moral questions under a smooth, entertaining surface. The play goes down easy, but its aftertaste is sharp.“ —New York Sun. ”We all have something murky in our past—that is the thesis of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's riveting drama"
