People Are Living There is one of only two of Fugard's plays that does not deal with apartheid; with his permission, this work, which had originally been set in South Africa, now takes place in Elizabeth, NJ. The play, according to press notes, concerns Millie, "a feisty landlady of a sleazy boarding house, [who] is celebrating her 50th birthday. She is looking forward to a nice romantic evening at home until she finds out her lover has run off with a younger woman and she’s now stuck at home with her three downbeat lodgers. Even if it kills her, she is determined to celebrate and to have her revenge as she persuades her guests to join her for a Pinteresque birthday party none of them will ever forget."

The creative team for People Are Living There comprises Roger Mooney (set design), Beth Turomsha (lighting design) and Alexis Prussack (stage manager).

Athol Fugard is the author of Blood Knot, "MASTER HAROLD" ...and the boys, A Lesson From Aloes, The Island and Sizwe Banzi Is Dead. All five plays were nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play. Fugard is also the author of "Cousins: A Memoir."
