This may sound mean, but...
If you send me an ask containing links to Good Omens fan fiction you think I should read, I'll delete it. Do it again and I'll (regretfully) block you. This is a general blanket sort of thing -- I don't want to read it, legally I can't read it, no I won't make it into the next series, and, no matter how pure your motives, it's crossing a line.

My confront character? Tess Henchard. I’m historically a girl’s girl, but not for her. The audacity this woman held is wild and Alec Hardy deserved better.

thea i must announce peanut 1 and 2 have planned our third in person meeting since & including originally meeting in the macbeth queue. but for the very first time!!! we'll actually meet in the country we both live in!!!!
we will watch good, richard ii and then the tv baftas, admire my worryingly large dt sticker collection (courtesy of @princeloww 's etsy shop) and we shall reminisce about the time we both sent anons detailing our queue outfits into your ask box. what a way to start a friendship.
i am so delighted by the sheer amount of david tennant themed sleepovers in my recent past and near future. i am in my mid twenties and thriving and i recommend to anyone of any age who reads this: have more dt themed sleepovers. (this is my medical opinion as a second semester med student btw)
We truly need “Donmar Warehouse Macbeth Alumni Association” shirts….

suddenly longing to be somebody’s partner, but not in the romantic sense. more like a matched set. more like everybody assumes you know exactly where the other is in the moment. more like of course we’re going to tackle this problem together. not in the ‘officially a couple’ sense. more in the ‘we work so well together why would we ever not’ sense. you know?

It's been two weeks since I was able to take in a viewing of the National Theatre Live production of "Good." I find it is still very much in my thoughts. As I hadn't reviewed it yet, now is a good a time as any (pardon the pun).
I purchased a copy of the screenplay, and if I hadn't seen the production in advance, it would have made for a tough and confusing read. Not unlike Shakespeare plays, this is a play that needs to be seen in performance to make sense. Between the time jumps and the quick cuts of dialogue and scenes it does not lend itself to the reader.
The West End revival of "Good" was supposed to take place originally back in 2020. But as we all know, the world ground to a halt, theatre's and live performance taking an especially hard hit. By some miracle, all three original actors were able to keep to their promise of being in this revival production.
The play, written by CP Taylor, takes place in 1930s Germany over a span of around eight years. It follows a "good" man and how such a good person could, unknowingly, be led into evil.
This revival production has three main actors, two of whom play a multitude of parts. The always mesmerizing David Tennant is the lead protagonist playing John Halder. Halder believes himself to be a good person, and a happy one, he does not see himself drifting into the evils of the Nazi regime. His character has a wife and children and a mother who has dementia. He hears a lot of music in his head. Music is peppered through the play, as a dramatic device it denotes Halder's detachment from reality. Halder also has an inability to listen to others, he has a case of narcissism in his character. Tennant subtly portrays a lurking darkness, that has always been there, under an bookish and affable exterior. He pretends to be concerned for others, but is always acting with selfish motivations. It is stunning and chilling.
Tennant's fellow actors, Elliot Levey and Sharon Small, play multiple roles. Elliot Levey plays Maurice, Halder's best, and only, friend. In addition he plays a range of characters and Nazi supervisors. Elliot imbues Maurice with a sense of growing panic and betrayal as he watches the horrors unfold before him. How can his best friend not help get out of the danger? How can Halder not see what is actually happening around them?
Halder: This is still a capitalist country. The real power is in the hand of the capitalists. They can't afford to have a mystic idealist running their country...this is a temporary aberration.
Maurice: He doesn't listen to people. I'm telling you. There is legislation coming in the next few days...in the next day...today...maybe yesterday.
Halder is above the conflicts in many ways because of his background, and his constant self-justification and moral emptiness will mean he betrays his 'good' sense of self. He rationalizes everything, even when he's in the middle of the "night of the broken glass" (the Anti-Jewish pogroms that took place in November of 1938). He's a literature professor and he doesn't make much of the book burning at the University, as long as he can keep his copies of his books, since his superior has disguised his jazz music records in order to keep them.
Freddie: All right, Johnnie? Can I leave that to you?
Halder: As long as I can keep my copies, Freddie.
Freddie: I've got my jungle music haven't I?
Sharon Small plays Helen - Halder's wife, his mother with dementia, Anne - his mistress, and a couple of fellow SS officers. As Helen, Small portrays a sense of constant putting down of herself, she's frequently looking down at the floor. As Halder's mother, she hunches and shrinks down a bit in stature. If it all sounds confusing to watch, it could have been. However, Levey and Small did a tremendous job of using body language and vocal inflections to keep the characters separate. Once you quickly cotton on to the switches, it works because of these top shelf actors. The stage direction also helps via stage lighting and music to denote scene changes. Seeing this on film was amazing, those that got to see it live on stage, that would have been genuine stage magic.
The strength of this play, through CP Taylor's writing, shows you the varied ways that people delude themselves and shut out realities in front of them. The mentality of "surely they won't take it that far" is a comfortable place to reside. Humans have their fallibles and their ways of convincing themselves "it won't happen to me." Those attitudes will never change. But seeing media like this can help open dialogues among people to hopefully at least step back and think "would I know how to back out and not be a part of the problem?" It makes you ponder tough questions about your own sense of self. In this age of digital division and politics deepening the divide between us all, it is worth trying to see things from the other perspective, and speaking up if you think actions are going too far.
I sincerely hope National Theatre Live adds this to their online "watch at home" option once the movie screening run is concluded. Everyone deserves the chance to see this play.

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
