About the show: Set in 1930's Germany. John Halder is a Frankfurt literary professor and an example of the good man: he is apparently devoted to his wife and children and he does his best to look after his aged mother. Cecil P. Taylor, in tracing his hero's progress over eight years plausibly explains the private flaws that lead to endorsement of public monstrosity.. Good invites us to question just what a "good" man is and does and where the bounds of responsibility lie.
Single Roles:
John Halder: (male presenting) Approx. early 40’s. A college lecturer in German Literature. Analytical, logical, educated intellectual. He wants to do what is right, to be a good man. This is a very meaty role. The character never really leaves the stage for the whole show.
Maurice: (Male presenting) Halder’s analyst and friend. Approx age, 40’s. An psychiatrist.. Analytical, logical, educated yet a realist. He sees what is going on and what is happening to the country and John.
Helen: (Female presenting) Halder’s wife, approx. age late 30’s. Artistic, dreamy, unable to cope with the realities of being a housewife and mother.
Mother: (Female presenting) Halder’s mother. Elderly, frail, blind, frightened and dependent
Anne: (Female Presenting) Halder’s student and lover. Early 20’s. Youthful, upbeat and ambitious.
Double roles:
Sister/Elizabeth: (Female presenting) Elizabeth is Freddie’s wife, a socialite,
Freddie/Major: (Male presenting) Freddie is a major in the SS. Outgoing, charming and enthusiastic about the cause.
Bok/Hitler: (Male presenting) Bok is working class, an officer in SS
Doctor/Dispatch Rider: (Male presenting) no-nonsense, efficient.
Bouler/Eichmann: (Male presenting) Party members, politicians
We will also need a handful of musicians to play on stage at the very end of the play. Needed are violinists, viola, cello, clarinet .
Actors in cast can double as musicians.
