Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Margie Walsh is having a terrible time of it, and you're invited to listen in.
In David Lindsay-Abaire's Tony-nominated play "Good People," Margie (pronounced with a hard "g") is a mouthy Southie whose indomitable spirit is tested as troubles pile up. The single mom of a mentally disabled adult daughter, she has lost her dime-store job and is facing eviction.
And there's another thing the audience at Pittsburgh Public Theater will learn quickly about Margie. Little that pops into her mind is left unsaid, and most of it comes across as unfiltered.

I must say, after reading this I am compelled to go and see the show. I find it interesting and wonderful that Pittsburgh is showing the stories of struggle from different perspectives. The August Wilson Center is hosting the Pittsburgh Cycle, obviously a chain of stories about the lives of those in the Hill District. And the Public is hosting a show featuring the struggle of another gender, race, and location. It's great to see these two juxtaposed with each other because it shows that all types of people are going through something, no matter their differences.
