Friday 28th February – Saturday 8th March 1997 in the Auditorium

Australia, 1787. In a penal colony the convicts find relief from their harsh and brutal lives by rehearsing The Recruiting Officer. Highly theatrical, often funny and sometimes dark and disturbing, a play that says the theatre is important, a boon to civilisation.

Play of the Year 1988.
