GOOD

July 16, 2023

This event occurred as part of the 23/24 Art On Screen season. This is an archived view.

David Tennant (Doctor Who) makes a much-anticipated return to the West End in a blistering reimagining of one of Britain's most powerful, political plays.

On the eve of the Second World War, John Halder (David Tennant), a good, liberal German professor, finds himself pulled into a movement with unthinkable consequences. As Nazism entrenches itself in Germany, at what point does apathy become hypocrisy, and hypocrisy become complicity? Filmed live from the Harold Pinter Theatre in London, Good is a play about the subtle lures of fascism and how easily "good" people may be willing to give up the fight.
