Good (starring David Tennant) has me gnawing at the bars of my enclosure I want to study this play under a microscope

[fandom-star-gazer]

I just can't stop thinking "Just how many "good" men like John Halder were so brainwashed into believing the Nazis were doing nothing wrong" and "how many people are now brainwashed into thinking that Israel is doing nothing wrong". Gosh! The history is so repeating itself and so many people are still trying not to believe or just aren't aware that this is a genocide.

If you get a chance and you're UK based, BBC Four just aired the staging of the play Good starting David Tennant. There are few better portrayals of the compromises we make on the road to hell.

One good man and a slippery slope

"One good man and a slippery slope", a review of CP Taylor's play 'Good', screened by the National Theatre Live in South Africa this week.

Good.

A powerful movie often leaves me speechless for some time, while I sort through my reactions and feelings. That’s why I usually stay for all the credits, sitting quiet in the dark theater before I re-enter the busy world. This happened today when I saw the NT Live theatrecast of the play, Good, by CP Taylor, currently running at the Harold Pinter theatre in London. Set in the early 30s Germany,…

Could it be some subconscious comment on my loose grip of reality? The whole of my life as a performance. Is that too glib, do you think, Maurice?

GOOD | National Theatre Live

Absolutely terrifying how much warmth, humanity and charm he manages to imbue this character with.

I never thought I would ever see this crossover episode

OK I watched Good (David Tennant) as it was airing just now and oh my god it was incredible

As a theatre tech nerd (3 years of stage managing + sound tech) I was absolutely transfixed by the technical stuff. The lighting, the music, the overall staging -- it was just so good. It reminded me a bit of Amadeus, the most recent show I did, in the way that the music is so interwined with the story. The scenes of Halder speaking over the music really brought me back to Salieri's impassioned, verbal breakdowns over Mozart's music.

The music was phenomenal. The lighting was as well -- the sudden shifts as we jump from one thing to another? It's simple, yes, in theory, but the execution was just so flawlessly smooth and perfect each time. The red lighting to represent flames during the book burnings and the final scene with Maurice was perfect. It really encapsulated the entire feeling of the scenes --- I might be looking into it too much, but the way Halder's face is completely cast in red when he looks at Maurice? Oh my god.

The acting was obviously the stand-out thing, but combined with the clever staging (I was quite excited when it opened up at the end, and then immediately unexcited when I remembered what was happening), lighting and sounds??? I was sitting there with my mouth open struggling to finish my orders because I was just so engaged by it all.

I don't know her name, but the woman who played Anne/Helen/The mother/the nazi guy was AMAZING. I am so obsessed with her. The scenes where she rapidly switches between one character and another? Fucking perfect oh my godd. The lighting shifts when she switches to the dementia-ridden mother was amazing, but only worked so well because of her incredible acting. There was such a stark difference between each of her characters. Actors really amaze me, I've got to say. Maurice's actor was great too - I loved his small movements and the way he spoke.

I don't need to say how great David was, because we all know.

Very much worth the watch, please check it out -- theatre nerd or not

Drarry microfic: welcome home

The knock on the door was quiet, yet Draco still heard it. He looked up from the book he was reading, a steaming cup of Earl Grey tea in his hand. Who could possibly still need him at this ungodly hour of the night?

Slowly, he made his way over to the door, a warm blanket wrapped securely around his shoulders. Even after a long day of work, people couldn’t leave him alone, could they?

He pulled open the door. The words that were ready on his tongue, disappeared as quickly as they came when he saw just who was standing on his doorstep with an umbrella in his hands and a sheepish smile on his face.

“Hi.”

Before he could think twice about it, Draco slammed the door shut. He stood frozen in the hallway, pulling the blanket closer around his shoulder. Surely, it couldn’t be?

After a few seconds, Draco carefully opened the door again, peeking outside to see if he was still there. To his surprise, he was.

“Draco?”

His voice was so familiar. It hurt to hear it again after so so long. But still…

An unexpected warmth spread through his veins. He was back. He was finally back. After months of silence. After months of Draco trying—and failing—not to worry, Harry was finally back home.

A tentative smile lifted the corners of his mouth. He stepped aside to let Harry back in the house. “Welcome home, my love.”

Prompt from May 5th
