**** Recommended **** The Goodman Theatre’s new production, “Roe”, should be on everyone’s must-see list. Going in, I wasn’t looking forward to seeing this play because I thought it would be all strident and heavy, and yes, politically correct, but it wasn’t. I never cared about the people involved in “Roe v Wade, but this play about two very different women, brought those very real people behind the Supreme Court ruling to life. It was human and poignant and even-handed, even though parts were both strident and political (causing some in the audience to lose their minds). My friend Helen liked it so much she recommended it to some of her friends! 4 Spotlights
