Olivier Award-winning actress Imelda Staunton stars in David Lindsay-Abaire’s hilariously cutting Good People for a limited ten week run at London’s Noel Coward Theatre. After premiering on Broadway in 2011, this darkly comic play makes its way to the West End following an acclaimed, sell-out run at the Hampstead Theatre. Tackling issues of class and the American economy all with a dash of good humour, Good People is a thrilling human drama.
Set in South Boston, Good People follows sharp-tongued single mother Margie, who loses her job and will do anything it takes to pay the bills. Just making ends meet on her side of town is difficult, and Margie is no stranger to using all her energy to keep afloat. When hearing than an old, wealthy lover is back in town, she decides to corner him with hilarious, disastrous and entirely unexpected consequences.

Further casting includes Lorraine Ashbourne as Jean, Matthew Barker as Stevie, Angel Coulby as Kate and June Watson as Dottie.

Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, Good People scooped the New York Drama Critic’s Circle Award for Best Play. A tender, provocative and outrageously funny drama, Good People explores how even though you may live on the brink, fate has a nasty habit of showing its hand.
