Thomas Keneally

The Playmaker

London, Hodder and Stoughton, 1987. First edition. Cloth. First edition of the historical novel about the first play to ever be performed in Australia Written by Thomas Keneally, the writer of 'Schindler's Ark' (upon which the award winning 'Schindler's List' was based), 'The Playmaker' follows Lieutenant Ralph Clark as he attempts to transform a group of convicts into a theatre troupe. This fascinating novel was the basis for Timberlake Wertenbaker's (also award winning) play 'Our Country's Good&apos. Based upon historical records, including Clark's journals and letters, this work brings to life the tragedy and horror of the period, where people could be sentenced to death or deportation for minor crimes. Keneally paints his characters brilliantly, bringing to life the horror and difficulties for both the educated officers, far away from their homes and families, and the often shockingly ignorant convicts, whom Clark attempts to educate and 'redeem.' In a cloth binding with dustcover. Externally: Dustcover in excellent condition, with almost no signs of wear. Boards in excellent condition. Internally: Firmly bound with pages very bright and clean. Fine . Ill.: None. Fine/Fine.
