Stage Craft presents: Our Country’s Good
By Timberlake Wertenbaker based on the novel The Playmaker by Thomas Keneally
‘Redemption, Hope, and the Power of Theatre.
New South Wales, 1789. In the harsh, unforgiving heat of a penal colony, a young Lieutenant decides to bring civilization to the convicts by doing the unthinkable – putting on a play.
Surrounded by the threat of the hangman’s noose and the brutality of their existence, a ragtag group of thieves and murderers must learn their lines – and how to work together. But as rehearsals begin, they discover theatre offers them something more dangerous than rebellion: Hope.
Directed by Richard Bland (‘Ben Hur’ – Castle Park Theatre. ‘Dirty’ -The Mercury Theatre) Stage Craft @ is proud to present their Adult Acting Company in this moving production of Timberlake Wertenbaker’s modern classic.
