The Orange Curtain Review
On the Cripe Stage…
The haves and the have-nots come face-to-face in this Broadway hit. Written by Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire (Rabbit Hole), this Tony-nominated dramatic comedy finds struggling single mother Margie Walsh coming to terms with the reality that her South Boston neighborhood offers the same lack of opportunity it always has. For most people, it’s a place where this month’s paycheck covers last month’s bills — and church bingo is a big night out on the town. Facing eviction, Margie’s forced to turn to an old high school flame for help. But he’s now a successful physician living in the suburbs … and Margie is way out of her element there. With a keen eye for character and an uncanny sense of humor, Good People explores the struggles, shifting loyalties, and unshakeable hope that comes with having next to nothing in America.
Recommendation: Ages 13 and above. Contains adult language.

Play was fantastic, I laughed, I cried. The acting was top notch. Very impressive. Loved the set design too.
The performance was moving and thought-provoking. I’ve been thinking about it and its implications now days later. Very well acted and staged!
Great show! Several moments in the play I almost spoke out, I felt like I was in the room with them, a part of the conversation. Amazing job, absolutely amazing!
Great show and actors were amazing!
This award winning play was a good choice.
One of my favorite plays that I have seen at the Chance. The acting was amazing and consistent throughout the entire cast.
We expected the show to be great and it was.
We talked about the play afterwards and still thinking about the play
I found the play to be really entertaining. And the after party was very nice. Once again, I am impressed with how the stage is set up.
This play was very thought provoking. It took a while to absorb it, reflect on it and get the meaning of its title “Good People”. A great commentary on society and what most of society considers a good person.
The acting was top notch, especially the lead actress. In the living room scene, I was moved to tears during the argument. Emotionally charged and touching. Wonderful performances by all!
Outstanding characterization by cast and production.
A wonderful performance that reminds you how lucky you are to see live theater.
Incredible story, actors were amazing, left us with lots to discuss about our own life connection to the play
Great show
