Another Country is a 1981 British play written by English playwright Julian Mitchell.[1] It premiered on 5 November 1981 at the Greenwich Theatre, London.[2]
The play won the Society of West End Theatre Awards Play of the Year title for 1982. The play takes its title from a lyric in the British patriotic hymn "I Vow to Thee, My Country."[3] It has been described as a "hit play", and that "in the theatre business the play is a legend, having launched the careers of several pimply actors in their very first jobs, including Kenneth Branagh, Rupert Everett, Daniel Day-Lewis and Colin Firth."[3]
