DIFFERENT STAGES 2011–2012 SEASON
Good
People
by David Lindsay-Abaire
April 19 – May 11, 2013
City Theater, 3823 Airport, Suite D
Directed by Karen Jambon
With
humor and pathos, Good People, explores the struggles, shifting
loyalties, and unshakeable hopes that come with having next to nothing in
America. Set in Boston's Southie neighborhood,
where a night on the town means a rousing night of bingo, where this
month's paycheck barely covers last month's bills, we meet Margaret Walsh.
Margaret has lost her job, is facing eviction, and scrambling to catch a
break. When she re–acquaints with a friend from the old neighborhood,
someone who is now a very successful doctor, she attempts to use their
childhood acquaintance as a ticket to turning her life around. Good
People is tough and tender and explores the tension of class in
America.

Must Fall
by Emyln Williams
June 21 – July 13, 2013
The Vortex, 2307 Manor Rd
Directed by Norman Blumensaadt
In a bungalow in a forest in
Essex lives Mrs Bramson,
a fussy hypochondriac. She pays her niece Olivia a small salary to act as
her companion and the household also includes her cook, Mrs
Terence, and her maid Dora. When Dora gets pregnant, Mrs
Bramson is determined to get the boyfriend to
marry her. At the same time, a woman disappears from a nearby hotel.
The police begin investigations
and, when Dora brings home her boyfriend Dan, Olivia immediately notices
that his behaviour is not quite normal. He is
perpetually putting on an act and soon he worms
his way into the affections of Mrs Bramson, leaves his job as page boy at the hotel and
moves in.
Then the woman’s body is
found – headless...
