GOOD PEOPLE's Donovan And Abaire Guest On MSNBC

GOOD PEOPLE's Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire and actor Tate Donovan will appear on tomorrow's edition of MSNBC's "The Dylan Ratigan Show" to discuss the world premiere play which is now in previews at Manhattan Theatre Club's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street).

"The Dylan Ratigan Show" airs 4-5 PM Eastern Time on Time Warner cable channel 14 (check local listings for airtimes in other areas). Tomorrow's episode of the show will be guest hosted by Matt Miller (host of the radio program "Left, Right, and Center).

GOOD PEOPLE, written by Lindsay-Abaire and directed by Tony Award winner Daniel Sullivan will open Thursday, March 3 at MTC's Samuel J. Friedman Theatre (261 West 47th Street).

In addition to Donovan, the production stars Becky Ann Baker (All My Sons, Assassins), Patrick Carroll (Broadway debut), Emmy Award nominee Renée Elise Goldsberry ("One Life to Live," Rent), Oscar winner Frances McDormand (Fargo, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, Almost Famous), and Oscar winner Estelle Parsons (August: Osage County, "Roseanne").

Welcome to Southie, a Boston neighborhood where a night on the town means a few rounds of bingo... where this month's paycheck covers last month's bills... and where Margie Walsh (McDormand) has just been let go from yet another job. Facing eviction and scrambling to catch a break, Margie thinks an old fling (Donovan) who has made it out of Southie might be her ticket to a fresh new start. But is this apparently self-made man secure enough to face his humble beginnings? Margie is about to risk what little she has left to find out.

With his signature humorous glow, Lindsay-Abaire explores the struggles, shifting loyalties and unshakeable hopes that come with having next to nothing in America.

Together, David Lindsay-Abaire and MTC have brought four outstanding new plays to the New York stage. Their most recent collaboration with director Daniel Sullivan, Rabbit Hole, earned a Tony Award and garnered Lindsay-Abaire the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
