About the show: For most of his life, Steven and his father have been distant, if not outright antagonistic. But now that Steven is thirty and his father is ill, will the two men finally be able to put their differences behind them? How To Be A Good Son explores the difficult terrain of familial love and the near impossibility of saying what we feel to the ones we love — even, or especially, when we know that time is running out.
