Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire and actors Estelle Parsons and Tate Donovan discuss "Good People," which is now up at the Manhattan Theatre Club. "Good People" is set in Southie, a working-class Boston neighborhood where Margie Walsh has just been let go from another job and is looking to catch a break with her old fling.

Bernie you sound like an an angry and sorry soul. To answer you question, people move for all sorts of reasons. Your comment about Mas*holes ‘staying there’ is provincial and divisive. I have met many wonderful people during my years living in NYC. You sir, however, are not one of them.
hey, why do so many mass*oles move to nyc? why can't you just stay there?
She sounds drunk. Anyway, being from Walpole, MA I love hearing about the local variations in accents.
Steve -- I'm also from Worcester and was thinking of posting the same question as you.
Always nice to hear from Ms. Parsons!
As someone from a shanty Irish background I would be flattered to be called lace-curtain.
there's nothing worse than listening to actors talk about acting...especially this crew! sorry lenny, have to tun the dial.
Could you comment on popular portrays of the Boston accent? I'm from Worcester and the only thing more frustrating than listening to a terrible Boston accent is a studied but accent that doesn't quite hit it. The problem I hear most commonly is people properly enunciating ev-er-y syllable too ca'e-ful-ly. Yes, you need to slur!
