Introduction
What makes a good man? It's a question John Halder asks himself - it is something he believes himself to be. But this is 1930s Germany and the choices a person makes may be the difference between good and profound evil. A brilliant fable on morality in a turbulent time.

Reviews
Carole Coyne
SLT is amazing for producing such a variety of plays and this weeks offering of Good by C P Taylor is very different from anything else in this season. it is a strong play about how easily people can be seduced away from their natural moral inclinations by the pull of political and emotional strings. Nick Howard‘s delivery of the lead role is spot on and all the minor characters support him flawlessly. There is remarkably good singing too from characters who were chosen for their acting potential. This story should be told to each generation so we never forget the horrors that happened under the Nazis.

Congrats to Lisa Thomas & her team on Good. A difficult subject to tackle but sensitively done by one of my favourite SLT directors. #BEAD

Congratulations on some interesting and strong performances in Good. Not an easy play to watch or be in but watching was an interesting and entertaining experience. Well staged and costumed even if unsettling at times. Carries relevancy today.. Do go along and see it even if you think might not be immediately your choice of play. Moments where I laughed even though it was not always comfortable. Thought provoking, deserves full houses. Thought all the actors were excellent, and stretched dramatically by this play. Loved the music, and projections, both of which enhanced the experience.

Congratulations to everyone involved with Good. It's an absorbing unsettling play with troubling modern resonances, and Lisa Thomas has directed it with meticulous care. The cast is uniformly excellent from Nick Howard's terrifying normal and hapless Halder (and I felt slightly faint contemplating his line-learning feat....) to Joe Scholes' perfectly delivered dispatch rider. And every performance in between - outstanding work and so much to appreciate from LilyAnn Green Coleman, Alex Watts, Bex Law, Mitchell Labiak, Robert Wallis - no, I have to stop, I am just listing ALL the cast members!! Plus this is one of the best examples I have ever seen of sustained onstage discipline by the entire cast. I urge you to book if you haven't done so already.
Anna Rubincam
Congratulations to the cast and crew of Good. A complex play that asks a lot of difficult questions and answers some of them. Some really strong performances, stellar background acting, amazing (and disturbing) costumes, and lots of interesting discussion in the bar afterwards. Don’t miss this!
