I went to see Our Country's Good by Timberlake Wertenbaker January 23rd at 7pm. It is a play set in Austrailia 1789, a young married second left tenant wants a promotion asks to put on a play, the first ever play to be staged in that country. The cast are the convicts and the main character might be hanged. This play shows strong themes of punishment and sexuality.
I didn't really enjoy this play, the acting was strong and showed some of the best character choices I've seen, although the movements between characters on stage felt very robotic and not free and human-like. The energy lacked in some areas, I felt exhausted by the end of it but I thought the acting was superb.
