Every Good Boy Deserves Favour archiveA play for actors and orchestra. I assure you there is not much in it. Taken as a whole, the sane are out there and the sick are in here. For example, YOU are here because you have delusions, that sane people are put in mental hospitals. A dissident is locked up in an asylum. If he accepts that he was ill, has been treated and is now cured, he will be released. He refuses. Your opinions are your symptoms. Your disease is dissent. 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. With music composed by André Previn and staged with the pioneering orchestra, Southbank Sinfonia. A co-production with Southbank Sinfonia - Britain’s young professional orchestra. Running time 65 minutes with no interval.
