In 1789, some British convicts who had been exiled to a remote Australian penal colony, plan to put on a play. Against a background of barbaric punishments, it is Ms. Wertenbaker’s design that the actors play both convicts and jailers -- a rich device which places on trial all of our assumptions about what “civilization” means. One critic described this moving play as “a tribute to the transforming power of drama.”
