Booking tickets

When checking out, we recommend the 'Fast Checkout' option followed, if necessary, by 'Checkout as guest (you may need to scroll down to find this)'. If you are an unregistered customer, you do not need to create an account, in fact it's probably easier if you don't.

If you want to create an account, click on one of the sign-up options shown; the 'email' option is possibly the easiest. Be aware that your basket will time out after 15 minutes (there is a 'time remaining' indicator top right of the screen).

Whichever checkout method you choose, please complete the 'Full name' field with your first and last names only. Please do not include your title or middle names.

APS Cancellation Policy

If you need to move your seat or seats from one performance to another of the same production, we can do this very easily for you at no additional cost to you. There is no need to cancel and rebook. Just contact the APS Box Office. Note that the change can only be to seats in the same area as the seats in the original order.

If you are unable to attend an event for which you have purchased tickets, we would be grateful if you would let us know as soon as possible, so that we can cancel your order and release the seats. However, please note that we do not, under most circumstances, offer refunds if a ticket order is cancelled after it has been processed.

When your ticket order has been cancelled, if the seats are resold and the performance is sold out, we will offer you a discount code that can be used to purchase tickets for another production. The value of the discount code will be the value of the tickets you cancelled, less a £2.00 admin fee per ticket. The discount code will be time limited and usually valid only for a maximum of six months.

If you order a ticket by mistake and inform the APS Box Office within 24 hours of your purchase that you wish to cancel it, we will offer you a discount code as described above.

If a production is cancelled by APS, you will receive a full refund for the amount you paid.


If you wish to cancel tickets or move your seats to a different performance, please contact the APS box Office

Our Country's Good

A ship, sailing 15,000 miles to Botany Bay, Australia, is crammed with Britain's convicts – a punishment for their crimes. After a life-threatening voyage they arrive in 1788 but keeping the colony disciplined is a brutal job and cruelty is rife. To keep the convicts in line and attempt to 'civilise' this often desperate, violent, poverty stricken group, a young ambitious lieutenant, Ralph Clark, decides they should perform a play.

With a mostly illiterate cast, rising mistrust amongst the ranks and the leading actor facing the gallows, this is a one of a kind theatre production…

Our Country's Good tells the extraordinary true story of a group of convicts and their commanding officers. Based on the novel The Playmaker by Thomas Keneally, it explores themes of empathy, humanity, justice, and the healing power of theatre. A powerful drama with comedic scenes — don't miss it!

Written by Timberlake Wertenbaker        Directed by Jane McKenna

Mon 8th - Sat 13th June, 7.30 pm
Sat 13th June, 2.30 pm

Tickets for Our Country's Good will be on sale from April 27th.
