About 'Good'

What is 'Good' about?

The story of Professor John Halder is set in pre-war Germany. It is a play about the Holocaust and has been produced for British theatre. CP Taylor's 'Good' has been being performed all over the world since its debut in 1981.

John Halder is a person who asks himself who a good man is and how he knows he is one. During the '30s, good men in Germany took small steps to do bad things, and although the actions might have seemed logical at the time, these actions were the line between good and evil. The consequences for Halder were unthinkable as he is pulled into the movement. The play is relevant in the present time as well and is an important lesson on morality.

The lead role of John Halder is played by David Tennant. Halder is a literary professor staying in Frankfurt, Germany, in the '30s. This play shows how someone so decent and good could have had their lives altered completely by Nazi ideology during World War II. Elliot Levey, the Olivier Award-winning actor, plays the character of Maurice, Halder's friend. David Tennant returns to the West End with this play.

The Royal Shakespeare Company first commissioned the play in 1981 and it premiered at the Donmar Warehouse. The performances by the Royal Shakespeare Company was directed by Howard Davies. In 1999, Michael Grandage directed this play again and starred Charles Dance. The Royal National Theatre hailed this iteration as one of the most important plays of the 20th century in 1998.

This production was due to be performed at the Playhouse Theatre, but the dates were postponed, along with the change in location, because of the pandemic.
