Evan returns to Helensburgh, West Scotland, home to the nation’s nuclear defence program and once a thriving holiday resort. A place he’s been trying to avoid. Haunted by his past and afraid of his future, he finds Helen working at the Seaview Hotel. GOOD WITH PEOPLE is a haunting two-hander tracing one town’s path of personal and political destruction.
Presented in association with The Beacon Arts Centre.
