Auburn Players depict 18th century life in the pen

Many plays follow a conventional story arc. Characters are introduced, they encounter a problem, and by the end, they all learn some sort of truth or lesson.

According to Jason Manning, people looking for those conventions might be surprised if they see the Auburn Player's latest production, “Our Country's Good,” this weekend.

“It's the least play-like play people will have seen for a while,” said Manning, who is directing the play. “Not everyone actually changes. They don't all learn profound lessons.”
