Synopsis
Our Country's Good is the story of convicts and Royal Marines sent to Australia in the late 1780s as part of the first penal colony there. It follows Second Lieutenant Ralph Clark's attempts to put on a production of George Farquhar's restoration comedy The Recruiting Officer with a cast of male and female convicts. The play shows the class system in the convict camp and discusses themes such as abuse, punishment, the judicial system and the idea that art can act as an ennobling force.
Question can be directed to Troy Powell at 357-7238.
