You make a deal with yourself one minute, you totally repudiate it the next.’

The Good play follows John Halder lives in Germany. He’s an intelligent, cultured man, working as a professor at a leading university in the early twentieth century. His life is pretty monotonous, until overwhelming political change rocks his career and livelihood, potentially forevermore.
In order to survive, Halder joins the Nazi Party, rising in the party ranks and gaining notoriety. At first, he’s detached from reality, able to distance himself from his actions. But, when Halder realises the full extent of his behaviour, and how it's been impacting wider society, can he continue? Or will he stop before it's too late?
Considered to be a leading Holocaust drama, Good is a play that examines the difficulties in staying true to your moral self, even if it doesn’t seem like the best course of action.
