OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD

CAN A GANG OF CONVICTS PUT ON A PLAY?
CAN A GROUP OF ART STUDENTS REALLY ACT?

Watch students of the National Art School flex their creative muscle as the beautiful
grounds of the historic Darlinghurst Gaol are transformed into hell on earth for Timberlake
Wertenbaker’s Our Country’s Good. Ghosts of inmates past will be brought to life as the
text explores the brutality of punishment and the redemptive power of Art. A night of
pick-pockets, whores, drunken sailors and gentlemen, but in this burnt-out country are all
what they seem? With the supplies dwindling and a surplus of rum on hand to subvert the
status quo, there will be either metamorphosis or mutiny. A moving artwork directed by
the incorrigible Sarah Enright for the National Art School Theatre Society, this is sure to be
an eye opening night at the theatre!

RUNS FOR 5 NIGHTS ONLY AT 8PM FROM: 23 - 28 NOVEMBER
