Good is an award-winning play which is in two acts written by British playwright Cecil Philip Taylor. It was originally commissioned by The Royal Shakespeare Company in 1981 and has been described as the definitive piece written about the Holocaust in the English-speaking theatre. It is set in pre-war Germany and it shows how John Halder, a liberal-minded professor whose best friend is the Jewish Maurice, could not only be seduced into joining the Nazism but step-by-rationalised-step end up embracing the final solution justifying to his conscience the terrible actions. Alan Howard played the main role of John Halder while Sir Charles Dance was the star of a Donmar Warehouse revival in 1999. Good is a production from a new company called Fictionhouse which was set up by Dominic Cooke who is a former artistic director of the Royal Court and its former executive director Kate Horton. David Tennant said Cooke was one of the UK's all-time great theatre directors and Good was 'a fantastic bit of writing that is more pertinent and resonant now than it ever has been.' David Tennant will play John Halder. The cast will also include Elliot Levey and Sharon Small. It will be directed by Dominic Cooke. Currently there are no plans to film Good during the run.
