'Germany in the Thirties. Nothing, I should have thought, was harder to dramatise. Witness all those turgid films and telly-plays full of stuffed SS uniforms. But C. P. Taylor's Good is an original and intelligent play, light in texture but serious in content, that tries to work out how decent, liberal, humane men came to be swept up by the Nazi juggernaut.' - Michael Billington, Guardian

'Taylor's play is about moral compromise in a political fog, and like all good plays is as much abou tnow as then.' - Snoo Wilson, Time Out

'A fine mature new play from one of our best (though underrated) dramatists.' John Elsom, Listener

The first production of Good, with Alan Howard in the lead, was by the Royal Shakespeare Company at their London Warehouse in September 1981. The production was revived in January 1982.

Über den Autor
Cecil Philip Taylor (1929-81) was a Glasgow-born playwright who wrote just under eighty plays during his sixteen years as a professional playwright. His plays largely drew on his Jewish background and socialist viewpoint. His works include Mr David, Happy Days Are Here Again, Bread and Butter, Lies About Vietnam, The Black and White Minstrels, Next Year in Tel Aviv, Schippel, Gynt, Walter, and Good - the latter arguably his most successful play. Taylor worked throughout his career with both the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, and the Live Theatre Company, Newcastle. He died of pneumonia in 1981.
