David Tennant to Headline West End Revival of C.P. Taylor's Good

David Tennant, the stage-and-screen star most known for his turn on the BBC series Doctor Who, will return to the West End stage this fall in a new production of C.P. Taylor's Good. Olivier winner Dominic Cooke will direct the revival, scheduled to begin previews on October 6 and officially open on October 14 at the Playhouse Theatre.

Good is set just as World War II is about to begin. John Halder (Tennant), a decent, intelligent, music-loving German professor, finds himself swept away into a movement that crescendos toward an unthinkable finale.

Tennant's prior stage work includes turns in Don Juan in Soho, Richard II, Hamlet, Much Ado About Nothing and Lobby Hero. His film credits include Mary Queen of Scots, You Me & Him, Mad to Be Normal, Fright Night, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Bright Young Things. In addition to his performance on Doctor Who, he has been seen on television in Deadwater Fell, Good Omens, Criminal and There She Goes.

Good will feature scenic/costume design by Vicki Mortimer, lighting design by Paule Constable, sound design by Paul Arditti and music direction by Nigel Lilley. The production is scheduled to play a limited engagement through December 19.
