Good People

divp"A lyrical and understanding chronicler of people who somehow become displaced within their own lives. . . . Mr. Lindsay-Abaire has shown a special affinity for female characters suddenly forced to re-evaluate the roles by which they define themselves."—IThe New York Times/I/P pWith his latest play IGood People/I, David Lindsay-Abaire returns to Manhattan Theatre Club where four of his previous works were produced, including his 2007 Pulitzer Prize-winning IRabbit Hole/I. The play premiered there in winter 2011 in a production directed by Daniel Sullivan (who also directed IRabbit Hole/I), and featuring Frances McDormand in the role of protagonist Margie Walsh. IGood People/I is set in South Boston, the blue-collar neighborhood where Lindsay-Abaire himself grew up: Margie Walsh, let go from yet another job and facing eviction, decides to appeal to an old flame who has made good and left his Southie past behind. Lindsay-Abaire offers us both his "quiet three-dimensional depth" (ILos Angeles Times/I) and his carefully observed humor in this exploration of life in America when you're on your last dollar./P pBDavid Lindsay-Abaire/B is the author of IFuddy Meers/I, IKimberly Akimbo/I, IA Devil Inside/I, IWonder of the World/I, and IRabbit Hole/I, in addition to the book for the musicals IHigh Fidelity/I and IShrek/I. His plays have been produced throughout the United States and around the world./P/DIV
