Recenzii
Wertenbaker's play remains terrifyingly relevant ... movingly demonstrates the power of drama to change minds ... it's a play that still leaves its audience, like its subjects, transported.
A trenchant and uplifting case for the transformative power of theatre ... Wertenbaker's play is unashamedly idealistic but it's not sentimental ... how a theatrical production can offer a microcosmic image of liberating self-transcendence and true community.
A modern classic ... bursting with humanity, humour, heartache and passion ... this moving celebration of the power of drama to change lives for the good.
An instant modern classic ... this rich, warm play, with its impassioned advocacy of the humanising power of art ... huge themes roll around the stage - about art, social injustice and inequity, punishment and reform. But Wertenbaker also paints a vivid picture of an impromptu community improvising their way forward.
Vivid and persuasive ... There is love and lust and loss and infighting and cruelty and a few decent laughs too ... earthy, argumentative and alive ... it makes a political point palpable: there's something intrinsically theatrical and implicitly political about the joint act of let's pretend. Our Country's Good reminds us that there is such a thing as society.
A powerful plea for theatre as a humanising force
A modern classic ... a host of meaty themes: injustice, crime and punishment, social boundaries, and the effects of colonialism ... Wertenbaker's writing feels trenchant and satisfyingly fresh. She makes a lucid case for the invigorating, even therapeutic powers of theatre. The result is a politically charged piece, and a hopeful one.
It remains an exceptional piece of writing ... Wertenbaker writes mostly unsentimentally and always interestingly, conjuring a deliciously detailed world.
