Good: Review ****
IT was no surprise that there was a full house for the opening night of this powerful and challenging play by C P Taylor.
It is one of the National Theatre’s One Hundred Plays of the 20th century and has been praised as a work for the mind and heart which reveals man at his worst.
The Everyman Theatre Cardiff, under director Simon Futty, took this material and fashioned something fresh and memorable.
The use of music and song borrowed from Dennis Potter’s Pennies From Heaven, with singers, imagined by protagonist John Halder, crooning away as the action progressed, was superb.
Halder, played by Andreas Constantinou, is a liberal academic who gradually, through self deceit and moral cowardice, ends up as a member of the SS at the gates of Auschwitz. Much of the power of the play depended on the relationship and interaction between Halder and his Jewish friend, Maurice, played by Brian Smith.
Constantinou clearly relished his role and gave a virtuoso performance that allowed one to understand but never sympathise with Halder. Smith was equally strong in the role of Maurice, the panic-stricken Jew.
Taylor invited us to consider whether we would have reacted any differently to Halder, insisting that we saw him not as some monster, but as a man not entirely unlike ourselves.
The play runs until Saturday. Tickets on 029 2030 4400 or via www.chapter.org
