Unlike any other series of study guides the Page to Stage series offers insightful and authoritative introductions by well-known theatre professionals to classic plays. For Our Country's Good, Max Stafford-Clark brings his own involvement in the play's history, and his unrivalled experience as the director of the original Royal Court production, to present an in-depth study of how it actually works on stage. After an introduction about the creation of the play, the reader is conducted through its action, the historical context, its characters, and how the play was rehearsed and designed. The result is an invaluable and authoritative guide for anyone studying, teaching or performing the play. Telling the story of a production of George Farquhar's 1706 play The Recruiting Officer by a company of convicts in the early days of the Australian penal colony Our Country's Good has become a modern classic. No one is better suited to writing about why and how that came about than Max Stafford-Clark.
