Our Country's Good
927 Noyes Street Evanston
Unexpected situations are often matched by unexpected virtues in people, are they not? In 1789, Britain's jails were overflowing. Stealing something as insignificant as a loaf of bread was a one-way ticket to the newly established penal colony of Australia. Dealing with these miserable conditions, a young lieutenant is put in charge of staging a play with a cast made up of convicts. Simultaneously funny and poignant, the award-winning Our Country's Good explores freedom, the redemptive power of theatre and what it means to be human. Watch it all unfold in this Three Crows production at the Piven Theatre in Evanston.
