Good Bones is not your typical gentrification story. Aisha and Travis, a young Black couple, move into a charming old house in a poor neighborhood. Aisha, an urban planner, grew up in the area, and a new work opportunity to revive it brings her back. She and her husband, a chef and restaurant owner, begin to renovate their new home but the work is expensive, loud, and long. An argument with their neighbors, who are disturbed by the noise and concerned about the effects of rising property values, causes greater consequences than the couple could have foreseen. The new play by James Ijames, who won a 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Fat Ham, “uses drama (and comedy) to extend our thinking about the legacies of prejudice and resistance, power and deprivation,” writes the critic Jesse Green in The New York Times.
