Our Country's Good - Fri Jun 26, Sat Jun 27 and Sun Jun 28
About
A group of soldiers and criminals have been sent to Australia as part of a recently created penal colony. The conditions are bad all around, as food is scarce for both jailor and jailed, and the punishment for theft is dire. To raise morale (and in hopes of being noticed by the governor), Lieutenant Ralph Clark decides to stage a production of Farquhar’s comedy The Recruiting Officer, cast with inmates. But Ralph has his hands full with this group of actors, who are sometimes loveable, sometimes unscrupulous, and always perfectly human. Offering candid conversations about incarceration, gender, race, sex and the redemptive power of art, this play pairs particularly well with The Recruiting Officer.Directed by Sean O'Riordan, starring Adam Carr, Alexander Kelly, Binh Doan, Bishal Tamang, Debbie Kearns, Fiona Wu, Halil Selim Berk Efe, Jasmine Dhillon
