As so many Americans continue to feel the effects of recession economics, the subject of class may be all too resonant right now. From the Pulitzer Prize winning writer of Rabbit Hole, David Lindsay-Abaire’s Good People was a recent critical and audience hit when it debuted on Broadway earlier this year. Margie Walsh can’t catch a break. Laid off from her job at the dollar store, Margie is a single mother, and "know(s) that she and her handicapped daughter are only a single paycheck away from desperate straits." Margie is faced with the harsh reality that South Boston is providing her exactly the same level of opportunity it always has: none. Wry, rough around the edges and ready to make a change, she goes to seek out the one man who got away – both from “Southie” and from her. Instead, she finds herself in the ‘burbs and wildly out of her element, facing the question – is opportunity granted or earned? Nominated for a 2011 Tony Award for Best Play, Good People takes an affectionate look at the ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’ through the eyes of characters who won't be ignored.
