Actor Tate Donovan and playwright David Lindsay-Abaire discuss Good People. Abaire's critically acclaimed new work now on Broadway. In it, Donovan plays an affluent doctor who has turned his back on his working class roots in South Boston until a discomforting reunion with a former classmate (FrancesMcDormand) upends his life.

Also on the program, writer Timothy Crouse, discusses Anything Goes. Crouse and John Wideman have written a new libretto for the 1934 musical classic by Cole Porter, and now the show is a Broadway hit all over again.
