Our Country's Good by Thomas Keneally

Based on the novel 'The Playmaker' by Thomas Keneally

'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)'
