Written by British playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker and premiered in London in 1988, “Our Country’s Good” came to Broadway in 1991 and received Tony and New York Drama Critics Circle awards. Wertenbaker adapted the play from Australian author Thomas Keneally’s historical novel “The Playmaker.” The story is about how convicts and officers in an Australian penal colony confront issues of redemption and morality. The play contains adult language and themes.

Directing the production is Sally Wood, visiting assistant professor of theater. Wood, who joined the Bates faculty this year, has directed for Portland Stage Company and served as artistic director at the Theater at Monmouth.
