"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
Professor John Halder is a 'good' man. But 'good' men must adapt to survive. As the world faces its Second World War, Halder finds himself pulled into a position in the upper reaches of the Nazi administration.
Underscored by the music of a band ensemble that has haunted Halder throughout his life, Good is a lyrical tragic masterpiece about the causes rather than the consequences of Nazism.
Originally published in 1982, C. P. Taylor's profound and alarming examination of passivity and the rationalisation of evil is published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, featuring an author's preface from the original publication.
