David Lindsay-Abaire's Good People takes us to South Boston
where an unemployed Margie Walsh (nominee Frances McDormand) wrestles with
feelings of resentment after she pays a visit to a former flame.
Stephen Adly Guirgis's The Motherf**ker with the Hat follows a
former inmate (nominee Bobby Cannavalle) seeking to rebuild his life with
the help of a less-than-honest 12-step sponsor (Chris Rock).
Jez Butterworth's Jerusalem takes us the outskirts of London
where "Rooster" Byron (nominee Mark Rylance) leads a brigade of kids who
seek his bizarre wisdom and drugs.
Finally, the epic tale of a horse and his master during WWI takes center
stage in War Horse. This London import, adapted by Nick
Stafford from the children's book by Michael Morpurgo, features dazzling
puppets by the Handspring Puppet Company.
