Winner, Best of Edinburgh Award, 2006

“Explosive… I doubt if there will be a more gripping theatrical experience…” The Independent, UK

“Extraordinary… one of the top ten shows of the past decade…a passionate, enthralling production, not to be missed.” NOW Magazine

“Searingly intense… Knitted together via a series of role-playing flashbacks… with some spine-tingling choral singing derived from South Africa and Eastern Europe, a serious and profound rumination on the weight of moral responsibility…” The Herald, Glasgow

“An incredibly moving piece of theatre… miss it at your peril” UK Theatre Net ”

Why do good people rush to do evil? And what do they become?” A chance meeting in a bar sends a writer on a global journey to explore what it means to tell, or even know, the truth. A series of concentric stories, each enveloping each other, Goodness lifts the veil on genocide, the madness of humanity and how things are not always as they seem. Goodness has played Toronto, Edinburgh, New York and Rwanda, stunning audiences at each theatre.

Artists – Layne Coleman, Lili Francks, Tara Hughes, Jack Nicholsen, Paul Braunstein, Amy Rutherford, Ross Manson, JP Robichaud, and Rebecca Picherack
