Our Country's Good
by Timberlake Wertenbaker
Directed by Baron Kelly
Eighteenth-century Australia was truly the land down
under. Britain transported her convicts to this colony,
populating an entire country with the underclass and
their jailers. In Timberlake Wertenbaker's adaptation
of the novel The Playmaker by Thomas Keneally (author of
Schindler's List), a humanistic governor permits a group
of exiles to mount a comedy of manners that becomes an
emblem of their better selves, oppressed by their luckless
circumstances. Baron Kelly directs this highly acclaimed drama.

The Entourage
By Polly Frost
Directed by Steve Vineberg
A reading of an outrageous new comedy that sends
up both the public passion for hot new celebrities
and the pop-music publicity machine that stokes it.
The play is an E! Channel mockumentary about a barely
pubescent rock diva and the bottom feeders who surround her.

Timon of Athens
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Ed Isser
Timon is a generous man who throws away his fortune. This
remarkable but rarely performed tragedy by Shakespeare
is a parable about the dangers of crass materialism and
the vulnerability of wealth. It resonates for our own time,
when vast fortunes can still be won and lost quickly. Edward
Isser sets his production during the swing era of the
late '30s and early '40s, in a world of zoot-suited pimps and mobsters.
