Good People by David Lindsay-Abaire, now on Broadway, gives smart people great room for conjecture as it demonstrates the beauty of ambiguity. People stood around in front of the theater after the show debating, "He did!", She did!","Why wouldn't she?" "Why wouldn't he?"
Great fun after seeing a domestic Dramady snappily directed by Daniel Sullivan with a top-notch cast including Frances McDormand as a working-class woman who loses her job, Tate Donovan as her former lover who climbed his way into the upper middle class, the beautiful Renee Elise Goldsberry as his wife, the sparkling Estelle Parsons, Patrick Carroll and Becky Ann Baker. With a magical swift-change set by John Lee Beatty, appropriate lighting by Pat Collins and costumes by David Zinn, Good People is a welcome taste of good theater. The dialogue clicks, the performances bounce, and once again Lindsay-Abaire provokes and entertains.
