"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."--"The
New York Times"
With his latest play "Good People," David Lindsay-Abaire returns
to Manhattan Theatre Club where four of his previous works were
produced, including his 2007 Pulitzer Prize-winning "Rabbit Hole."
The play premiered there in winter 2011 in a production directed by
Daniel Sullivan (who also directed "Rabbit Hole"), and featuring
Frances McDormand in the role of protagonist Margie Walsh. "Good
People" 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" ("Los Angeles
Times") and his carefully observed humor in this exploration of
life in America when you're on your last dollar.
David Lindsay-Abaire is the author of "Fuddy Meers," "Kimberly
Akimbo," "A Devil Inside," "Wonder of the World," and "Rabbit
Hole," in addition to the book for the musicals "High Fidelity" and
"Shrek." His plays have been produced throughout the United States
and around the world.
