Set in Frankfurt Germany in the 1930's, Good has been described as the
definitive piece written about the Holocaust in the English-speaking
theatre. Set in pre-war Germany, it shows how John Halder, a liberal-minded
professor whose best friend is the Jewish Maurice, could not only be
seduced into joining the Nazism, but step-by-rationalised-step end up
embracing the final solution justifying to his conscience the terrible
actions.

Auditioners should come prepared with a one to three minute dramatic
monologue. This can be either from a film, play or self authored.
Auditioners should also be prepared to read selections from the play.

We are looking for auditioners who play the roles, from their monologue and
the roles from the show they choose to read for, with honesty and
sincerity. Auditioners will be also be expected to follow directions (basic
blocking)to the best of their ability. Finally, we will be looking
for those who seem as though they would work well as part of the team.
