Based on the true story of convicts and captors producing Australia’s first play,
OUR COUNTRY’S GOOD is an inspiring tribute to the transforming power of drama.
Tickets on sale now.
CINCINNATI, OH — The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music continues its Mainstage series with Timberlake Wertenbaker’s OUR COUNTRY’S GOOD on Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2019. Directed by Susan Felder, the award-winning play centers on a group of 18th-century criminals and British colonialists who explore how theatre can help rehabilitate and inspire.
Based on Thomas Keneally’s historical novel “The Playmaker,” OUR COUNTRY’S GOOD tells the true story of Australia’s first theatrical performance in the 1780s. A British Royal Marine lieutenant decides to put on a play to celebrate the king’s birthday. He casts the play with English convicts who populate a distant Australian prison camp to remind them that “there is more to life than crime and punishment.” Few of them can read, let alone act, and the play is produced against a background of food shortages and barbaric prison punishments. CCM’s production is for mature audiences.
“The play throws wild humor up against absolute brutality,” Felder says. “We see convicts and soldiers in their daily lives — all while trying their best to produce a play.”
CCM’s production takes advantage of Patricia Corbett Theater’s wide, thrust stage to create the maze of the Australian landscape. The set creates an “edge of the world” feel, Felder says, where the set and the characters transform — sails become a tent, the sun can change into the moon and condemned convicts become aspiring actors.
Recipient of the BBC Award: West End Play of the Year, the Laurence Olivier Award, the London Evening Standard Award and the New York Drama Critics Award, OUR COUNTRY’S GOOD is described as “a tribute to the transforming power of drama…It is heartening to find someone standing up for theatre’s unique spiritual power” (The Guardian).
CCM Acting presents OUR COUNTRY’S GOOD on Feb. 13 (preview performance)-17, 2019 at Patricia Corbett Theater. Tickets are on sale now through the CCM Box Office; student
discounts are available.

ABOUT THE SHOW:
Moll, a girl who invents things, wins the science fair with a machine for hearing sounds that can’t be heard. But when a shapeshifting Mercenary steals the invention (and her heart), she must embark on a quest to save noise as we know it. Accompanied by the last boy-virgin in the eleventh grade, Moll crosses chasms and rafts rivers into a world where sound is always more than what meets the ear. A quirky fable of innocence and experience, featuring live sound effects, mutinous onomatopoeia, and a host of woodsy temptations.
