Overview
Searing, superbly written this is a well-made play, in the best sense of the term.ā Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
If Good People isn't a hit for Manhattan Theatre Club, there is no justice in the land. Lindsay-Abaire pays his respects to his old South Boston neighborhood with this tough and tender play about the insurmountable class divide between those who make it out of this blue-collar Irish neighborhood and those who find themselves left behind.ā Marilyn Stasio, Variety
Substantial, tender yet often howlingly funny delectably uncomfortable to sit through. Iād call it a smart, painful social comedy with a head and a heart.ā Dominic Maxwell, The Times (UK)
With his signature humor, Lindsay-Abaire explores the struggles, shifting loyalties and unshakeable hopes that come with having next to nothing in America. Set in Bostonās Southie neighborhood, where a night on the town means a few rounds of bingo, where this monthās paycheck covers last monthās bills, we meet Margaret Walsh, who is facing eviction and scrambling to catch a break. When a friend from the old neighborhood, who is now very successful, moves back to town, Margaret hopes he may be the ticket to turning her life around.
