Theatre Review: Good

Donmar Warehouse, London WC2 (0171-369 1732)

CP Taylor's gripping play monitors individually understandable but collectively loathsome accommodations with conscience that can push a man into putting job, family and skin before ideals, principles and fellow men. Charles Dance is superbly cast as the sensitive academic who is drawn inexorably into the Nazi nightmare. The powerfully emotional logic of this magnetic, restless play is as lucid as the shifting shafts of radiance and colour in the fine lighting that graces Michael Grandage's beautifully skilful and sensitive production.
