Mr. Lindsay-Abaire has shown a special affinity for female characters suddenly forced to re-evaluate the roles by which they define themselves.\"—\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith his latest play \u003ci\u003eGood People\u003c\/i\u003e, David Lindsay-Abaire returns to Manhattan Theatre Club where four of his previous works were produced, including his 2007 Pulitzer Prize-winning \u003ci\u003eRabbit Hole\u003c\/i\u003e. The play premiered there in winter 2011 in a production directed by Daniel Sullivan (who also directed \u003ci\u003eRabbit Hole\u003c\/i\u003e), and featuring Frances McDormand in the role of protagonist Margie Walsh. \u003ci\u003eGood People\u003c\/i\u003e 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\" (\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e) and his carefully observed humor in this exploration of life in America when you're on your last dollar.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Lindsay-Abaire\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eFuddy Meers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKimberly Akimbo\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Devil Inside\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWonder of the World\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRabbit Hole\u003c\/i\u003e, in addition to the book for the musicals \u003ci\u003eHigh Fidelity\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eShrek\u003c\/i\u003e.
