…True patriots all, for be it understood,
We left our country for our country’s good

In 1788 the first convict ships arrived in Australia from England.
Based on real events, this award winning play tells the remarkable
story of the first theatre production ever staged on the Australian
Continent, performed by the convicts themselves. Our Country’s
Good is an inspirational, dark but often funny and truly life-affirming
story. But most astonishing of all, it actually happened.
Contains some language and content not suitable for under 14s.
