Our Country's Good by Timberlake Wertenbaker
Australia 1789. A young married lieutenant is directing rehearsals of the first play ever to be staged in that country. With only two copies of the text, a cast of convicts, and one leading lady who may be about to be hanged, conditions are hardly ideal..."Wertenbaker has searched history and found in it a humanistic lesson for hard modern times: rough, sombre, undogmatic and warm" (Sunday Times); "Highly theatrical, often funny and at times dark and disturbing, it sets an infant civilization on the stage with clarity, economy and insight" (Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph)Timberlake Wertenbaker is a renowned playwright in her own right. Her play 'The Grace of Mary Traverse' was produced at the Royal Court in 1985, earning her the Plays & Players Most Promising Writer Award. For 'Our Country's Good,' she also won the 1988 Olivier Award for Play of the Year.
