At the Sydney Cove penal colony in 1789, a young lieutenant directs rehearsals of the Restoration comedy "The Recruiting Officer" to celebrate the Kings' birthday. With only two copies of the text, a cast of convicts, opposition from sadistic officers, and a leading lady about to be hanged, the production is in trouble from the start... Winner of England's Olivier Award, "Play of the Year" and "Best New Play" Awards.
