Come see our spring production featuring 11 amazing FEST members onstage and just as many behind the scenes! Get tickets at www.festfrankfurt.org.
Our Country’s Good takes us to 18th century Sydney, Australia when it was the location of Britain’s first penal colony. It is a time filled with moral struggles as both jailers and convicts experience discontent and frustration with their harsh environment. In the midst of the declining morale, a young officer and several convicts decide to put together a play for the whole colony to enjoy. What do they learn about their beliefs and their “civilization?”
In the words of the director, “No matter how demeaning, how dehumanizing a culture becomes, the arts have always flourished. As the play and the real-life situation behind it demonstrate, the arts are even more effective, powerful and necessary in those parts of the world where people are abased because of who they are.”
FEST’s Our Country’s Good, opens on April 15th, 2016 at Die Katakombe theatre in Frankfurt and runs for two weekends.
FEST e.V. is the oldest and largest English-language amateur theatre group in the Frankfurt/Rhein-Main region. Founded by a group of British expats in 1977, FEST has since staged productions of every kind - drama, comedy, musical, cabaret, and - last but definitely not least - that magical box of Christmas fun, the British pantomime.
