Our Country's Good is a 1988 play written
by British playwright, Timberlake Wertenbaker, adapted from the Thomas Keneally
novel, The Playmaker. The story
concerns a group of Royal Marines and convicts in a penal colony in New South
Wales, in the 1780s, who put on a production of The Recruiting Officer. The
play was first staged at the Royal Court Theatre in London in 1988. It ran on
Broadway in 1991 and won major awards on both sides of the Atlantic. [copied with minor revisions from Wikipedia]
In the 1780s, convicts and Royal Marines were
sent to Australia as part of the first penal colony. The play shows the class
system in the convict camp and discusses themes such as sexuality, punishment,
the Georgian judicial system and the idea that that it is possible for “theatre
to be a humanizing force.” [copied with
minor revisions from Wikipedia]
The play is performed by the ISL Upper School
students (some of the language has been toned down, given the audience and age
of the performers).
Contact the ISL for information on tickets.
You also can watch the play through live stream (24 & 26 January only).
