Good People

Marin Theatre Company
397 Miller Ave. Mill Valley

In this "thoroughly absorbing... tough and tender play about the insurmountable class divide" (Variety), Margie, who has spent most of her life down on her luck, has never had it this bad. A middle-aged single mother with a disabled adult daughter at home, she is now unemployed, facing eviction and cut off from opportunity in South Boston, her insular working-class neighborhood. When Margie discovers that a high school flame is now a successful doctor, she swallows her pride and seeks his help, sparking questions about class, commitment and what it means to be a "good person."
