“Good People” – 5/26/16 thru 6/26/16
“Good People” by David Lindsay-Abaire, directed by Cheryl King (4F/2M)
CHARACTERS
The play is set in Boston, and all but Kate need to have (or develop) Boston accents
Margaret: Caucasian, fifties. Margie, a single mom, believes that she never had a chance to get out of South Boston. Caring for her mentally disabled daughter has made it difficult for her to keep a job. (Southie accent)
Stevie: Caucasian, late twenties. Stevie is the manager of the Dollar Store where Margie works. He was born and raised in South Boston and hasn’t gotten out. (Southie accent)
Dottie: Caucasian, mid-sixties Dottie, Margie’s landlord, cares for Joyce on an intermittent basis, and makes bunnies out of flowerpots to sell at the Bingo games where the three women gather. (Southie accent)
Jean: Caucasian, fifties Jean is Margie’s bossy and opinionated best friend, with whom she has an almost sister-like relationship. (Southie accent)
Mike: Caucasian, fifties. Mike is a successful fertility specialist, raised in South Boston, who married a black woman, with whom he has a much-loved daughter, and moved to a fancy home in the suburbs. (Southie accent-much reduced)
Kate: African American, early thirties. Kate is a sophisticated, African-American doctor’s daughter and a mother. She’s not from South Boston, and does not share that world view.
SYNOPSIS “Good People” tells the story of Margie, a tough middle-aged “Southie” from the wrong part of Boston, who loses her job and is one Bingo game away from homelessness. In reaching out to an old flame from her youth—now a successful doctor—Margie risks all as she tries to find a fresh start. Will Margie’s luck finally change for the better? An insightful comedy of class and culture, this recent Broadway hit is darkly funny and surprisingly touching.
