The Women of Lockerbie follows the journey of two parents who travel from New Jersey to the hills of Lockerbie, Scotland, to grieve over their only son, who lost his life on board the Pan Am Flight 103 crash seven years earlier. It is there in Scotland that they meet the women of Lockerbie and discover that they too experienced and suffered from horrible losses as well.

"a moving, thoughtful exploration of how grief changes over time. Larry Pine's performance, as an American father, and Jenny Sterlin's, as a Scottish mother, are particularly grounded and powerful."

Good Thing
December 4 - January 13, 2002
The Theatre at St. Clement's

by Jessica Goldberg, directed by Jo Bonney
featuring: Betsy Aidem, Cara Buono, Alicia Goranson, Hamish Linklater,
Chris Messina, John Rothman

Set in Albany, New York, Good Thing explores the intertwining stories of a group of disadvantaged young people and a middle-aged professional couple. All hope for luck and success but fate and tragedy stand in their way. Despite their aspirations, drug addiction and circumstance prevent them from succeeding and keep them mired in pain and suffering.

"Jessica Goldberg has created a tight, powerful, and richly though-provoking drama here, interweaving the contrasting lives of a young couple about to have a baby and a middle-aged couple coping with marital crises, and linking them together with the earnest machinations of a young woman who is desperate to set everything right. This excellent script has been brought vividly and memorable to the stage by director Jo Bonney for the adventurous New Group, with a cast of six remarkable actors doing some of their finest work as Goldberg's engagingly screwed-up characters."
-Martin Denton, The New York Theatre Experience, Inc.
