The latest production from Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright James Ijames ("Fat Ham") stars Susan Kelechi Watson in the role of Aisha, who decides to move to the struggling neighborhood she grew up in with her husband, and they renovate their new house. What unfolds is a story of gentrification, class divides, and an intense debate with her young contractor, Earl. "Good Bones" is running at The Public now through October 27, and we're joined by Ijames, Watson, and director Saheem Ali.
