Competition: Win signed script for ‘OUR COUNTRY’S GOOD’

Theatre Royal Brighton are offering Latest 7 readers the chance to win a signed copy of the script of Our Country’s Good, by multi-award winning playwright Timberlake Wertenbaker.

Max Stafford-Clark’s acclaimed revival of Timberlake Wertenbaker’s Olivier Award winning play Our Country’s Good visits Theatre Royal Brighton from Tuesday 11 – Saturday 15 November, as part of a limited tour. Inspired by real events, and based on The Playmaker, a novel by Thomas Keneally (who also wrote Schindler’s List), Our Country’s Good is the story of convicts and officers newly arrived in Australia after travelling across the world. There, an earnest and ambitious young marine officer, Ralph Clark, attempts to direct the prisoners in a play. As the barriers between captors and captives break down, they start to discover each other, both onstage and behind the scenes.

Twenty-five years ago, Our Country’s Good premiered at the Royal Court Theatre before transferring to the West End and Broadway, winning major awards on both sides of the Atlantic. This new production – by the same director, Max Stafford-Clark – toured to great acclaim. Timberlake Wertenbaker is renowned as an experimental dramatist, adaptor, translator, and radio dramatist.
