Our Country's Good - Shattered Globe

Timberlake Wertenbaker’s adaptation of The Playmaker, by Thomas Keneally, examines the power of art under duress through the lens of the cruel politics, forbidden entanglements, and creative growth of Australia’s first penal colony as the inmates rehearse for an upcoming production. Light is shed on the class system of the colony, relationships between the incarcerated and the officers tasked with policing them, and the effect of art on a prison population. OUR COUNTRY’S GOODpremiered in 1988 at the Royal Court Theatre and later ran on Broadway, garnering much critical acclaim and many awards along the way. Andrzej Lukowski of Time Out, London deemed it “an exceptional piece of writing,” while Charles Spencer of The Telegraph lauded Wertenbaker’s “moving celebration of the power of drama to change lives for the good,” and found it to be “bursting with humanity, humour, heartache and passion.” Nominee of six Tony Awards and winner of two Laurence Olivier Awards and a New York Drama Critic's Circle Award, the play was remounted in London this year to mark the 25th anniversary of its debut.
