Good As New

About This Movie

Good As New is a raw, one-act comedy that dives deep into the complexities of a mother-daughter relationship. The pacing is tight, keeping you on the edge as the daughter struggles with her feelings of disappointment and longing. The performances are both brutally honest and darkly humorous, creating a unique atmosphere that's hard to shake off. The thematic exploration of expectations versus reality is handled with a delicate touch, making the tension feel palpable. It’s interesting to see how it transitioned from a one-act to a full-length piece, adding layers without diluting the core message.

Good As New has a somewhat limited availability, having originally played as part of Manhattan Class Company’s early offerings in the 90s. Collectors often seek out archival footage or any recorded performances, as this title doesn't have a mainstream release. Its unique blend of dark humor and familial tension makes it a talking point among enthusiasts of lesser-known theatrical works.
