Curve, De Montfort University Theatre Company (DMU)

In a penal colony in 1789, a young lieutenant directs rehearsals of the comedy, The Recruiting Officer. But with a cast of dispirited convicts, opposition from sadistic officers, and a leading lady who faces being hanged, Australia’s first theatrical production is in trouble from the start.

Our Country’s Good was first performed at London’s Royal Court Theatre in 1988 and has since been performed around the world, regarded as a modern classic.

Directed by Nikolai Foster, Curve is thrilled to be collaborating with talented students from De Montfort University once again.
