Which play should I see?

Posted: 4/3/11 at 5:14pm

I haven't watched any plays this season so I'm trying to get on that before the Tonys.
I've narrowed down the list to:
(in particular order)
1. Jerusalem
2. War Horse
3. Good People
4. Born Yesterday

However I'm open to anything. Thanks for the help in advance.

Hands down, GOOD PEOPLE would be my recommendation.

The only one on your list I have seen is War Horse and it's magnificent, but it helps to know what kinds of plays you like when answering these questions.

Good People, Good People, Good People. For sure. Though, I also hear War Horse is great, but I haven't seen that one yet.

luvtheEmcee,
Thanks for the input, but truly I can watch any play. And I think that a big part of whether I like it or not are the performances of the actors.

If you love plays with strong performances, absolutely do Good People. McDormand is amazing, as is everyone else in that cast,

I enjoyed Good People quite a bit. I saw it VERY early in previews, I can only imagine how much stronger the show has become.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Looks like GOOD PEOPLE is the winner. How is the availability? Any problem getting good seats?

Good People first and foremost. If you're able to see a second play, absolutely War Horse.

GOOD PEOPLE. David is brilliant at writing real people. It's beautifully acted by the entire cast. I think the show is selling out.

Good People is great! War Horse was ok... a bit cheasy for me. But above all I thought Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo was brilliant. I highly recommend it. I'm watching Born Yesterday next week.

What ages would you recommend Good People to? Especially to someone who has only seen musicals...
