Tonight is the British television premiere of Good (starring David Tennant)


The British television premiere of the play Good is tonight on BBC Four at 10pm to 11.50pm.

David Tennant starred in a revival of CP Taylor's play Good at the Harold Pinter Theatre in London from Thursday 6th October 2022 until Saturday 7th January 2023.

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.

David Tennant played John Halder. The cast also included Elliot Levey and Sharon Small who played multiple characters. It was directed by Dominic Cooke.

Broadcast dates in other countries have not been announced yet.
