Why See Our Country's Good?

So historical plays about ahem, plays can't be potent,expansive, passionate and funny, can they? It's time to put such assumptions aside, with "Our Country's Good".

Set in 1789 within the penal colony of Sydney, Australia a young lieutenant is in the midst of directing the very first play ever to be performed in this new world. With a ragtag crew of convicts (including a leading lady about to be hanged), and only two copies of the play available, rehearsals for this comedy aren't going so well.

Yet as the barriers between captors and captives break down, they start getting to know each other for real, both onstage and behind the scenes.

This wildly acclaimed co-production by Out of Joint and the Octagon Theatre Bolton in the UK celebrates the 25th anniversary of its premiere at London's Royal Court Theatre, before it transferred to the West End (later on Broadway), winning the Lawrence Olivier Award for Play of the Year.
