Goodness / Canada
UK Theatre NetI didn't make many notes when I saw Goodness at the Traverse Theatre, because I spent much of the time with my knuckles in my mouth trying not to make a sound as I sobbed silently.
This is an incredibly moving piece of theatre about our ability as human beings to turn love into hate and good into evil... a stunning piece of theatre... thoroughly modern in conception... a tour de force of theatricalinvention... This is theatre that will reveal yourself to yourself, miss it at your peril. - Antonia Windsor, Aug 17, 2006 The Independent In a time-shifting tangle of tales-within-tales, Michael Redhill's Goodness explores,in the most intriguing way, the knotty question of why good people carry out the most evil crimes... This explosive play, its European premiere presented by Canada's enterprising Volcano theatre, has genuine emotional texture, is rich in complexity, quirkiness and surprise, and not without brief shafts of wit... I doubt if there will be a more gripping theatrical experience than Goodness at Edinburgh this year. - Lynne Walker, Thurs, Aug 21, 2006
