Tickets at 401-723-4266 or gammtheatre.org.Set in South Boston, the blue-collar neighborhood where Lindsay-Abaire himself grew up, Good People explores class differences in a way few American plays do: with "quiet three-dimensional depth" (Los Angeles Times) and characters who are not easily divided between good and bad. Good People features Gamm Resident actress Jeanine Kane as Margie Walsh, let go from yet another job and facing eviction; and Boston-based actor Bill Mootos, as Margie's old flame who has made good and left his Southie past behind.
Boston native and Pulitzer-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole) explodes the Hollywood version of class in America with his Tony-nominated play, Good People. When Margie Walsh, a single mother with a severely disabled adult daughter, loses her job at a South Boston dollar store, she looks to her high-school boyfriend turned successful doctor for a new job. But her attempt to hit up "Dr. Mike," who left working-class "Southie" for the manicuRed Lawns of Chestnut Hill, takes a surprising turn when Margie realizes the power of a secret from her old flame's past. Unsentimental and seriously funny, Good People topples moral stereotypes and lets neither characters nor audience off easy.
