ABOUT THE PLAY:
Our Country's Good chronicles the journey of the first British
convicts transported to the furthest place known to man in 1787:
Australia. These unwilling pioneers find themselves trapped between
slow starvation, the brutality of the soldiers guarding them, and the
terrors of this strange and wild new land. This unusual and
enlightening undertaking was the winner of the Laurence Olivier Play
of the Year Award in 1988. A rare and unique evening of theater, Our
Country's Good is at once distressing and uplifting, vicious and
hopeful, desperate and reassuring as it affirms the power of art and
the indomitable nature of the human spirit.
We are looking forward to seeing you there!
