His most successful play is probably "Good" (1981), in which the liberal German professor Halder (Alan Howard) becomes involved with the Third Reich war machine and Auschwitz through moral cowardice and subtle corruption. Halder, however, continues to see himself as a 'good man' even as he is drawn further and further into Hitler's nightmare. "Good" was first staged by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Donmar Warehouse in September 1981, with Alan Howard winning both the Evening Standard Award and the "Plays and Players" Best Actor awards. The play is frequently revived; in March 1999, also at the Donmar Warehouse, Charles Dance was in the leading role.
