About the Author
C.P. Taylor (1929-81) was a Glasgow-born playwright who wrote just under 80 plays during his 16 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.
Reviews
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, The Guardian *
Taylor's play is about moral compromise in a political fog, and like all good plays is as much about now. as then * Time Out *
One of the most powerful, politically pointed nights at the theatre * Evening Standard *
