West End Revival of C.P. Taylor's Good, Starring David Tennant, Shifts Bow to Spring 2021

The West End revival of C.P.Taylor’s Good, starring David Tennant and directed by Dominic Cooke, has been postponed until the spring of 2021 as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The production was originally scheduled to begin previews on October 6 and officially open on October 14 at the Playhouse Theatre.

“I am so looking forward to getting into a rehearsal room with David Tennant, Fenella Woolgar and Elliot Levey. CP Taylor’s play, which deals with collective denial, feels more relevant than ever," director Cooke said in a statement. "I have no doubt that it will really resonate for audiences when we open next spring. This delay is unavoidable but only whets my appetite for getting to work on this extraordinary play.”

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 stage credits include 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.
