The play is based on the novel The Playmaker by Thomas Keneally, which centers on the arrival of the first British convict fleet in Botany Bay in 1788. The characters are based on historical record, as are the events surrounding the convicts' first theatrical production. This production will be set in Australia but should prompt viewers to make contemporary parallels to other displaced populations.
Most roles will be doubled, with many actors playing officers as well as convicts. No British accents will be used. Musical ability is helpful, especially experience with the didgeridoo.
This play contains language that some may find offensive
