"Any production of Good Person depends in large part on the title role...Bi Jean Ngo triumphs at this challenging task, with distinct physical and vocal characterization. To further differentiate the two characters, Ngo has translated many of Shui Ta’s lines and speaks them in Vietnamese, a crisp contrast to Shen Te’s English. Her performance here propels her into the top rank of Philadelphia actors."--
