Every Good Boy Deserves Favour and Professional Four Playtext
Every Good Boy Deserves Favour
A dissident is locked up in an asylum. If he accepts that he was ill and has been cured, he will be released. He refuses. Sharing his cell is a real lunatic who believes himself to be surrounded by an orchestra. As the dissident's son begs his father to free himself with a lie, Tom Stoppard's darkly funny and provocative play asks if denying the truth is a price worth paying for liberty.
Every Good BoyĀ premiered at the Festival Hall, London, in July 1977. It was revived at the National Theatre, London, in January 2009.
