Our Country’s Good By Timberlake Wertenbaker Directed by Taylor Harlow February 21st, 22nd, 23rd. Australia in 1789 is a hellish hole for English prisoners brought there to suffer. Out of these dreadful circumstances, a young married lieutenant is directing rehearsals of the first play ever staged in that country. With only two copies of the text, a cast of convicts, and a leading lady about to face the gallows, conditions are less than ideal. Based on the extraordinary true story of Australia’s first penal colony and with deportation as punishment more relevant than ever, Our Country’s Good asks if it may be possible to combat dehumanization with the power of theater.
