Hampton Court Theatre, United Kingdom
Sydney, Australia 1788.
A young married lieutenant is directing rehearsals of the first play ever to be staged in Australia. With only two copies of the text, a cast of convicts, and one leading lady who is about to be hanged, conditions are hardly ideal.
Our Country's Good is one of Timberlake Wertenbaker's best-loved plays and won the Laurence Olivier Play of the Year Award in 1988.
