Synopsis
Based on the Thomas Keneally novel, The Playmaker, Our Country's Good follows the true story of these first citizens of Australia.

However, the newly appointed governor of the New South Wales prison, Captain Arthur Phillip, seeks to build a community within the penal walls and orders the prisoners to produce a play.
