About the Performance
Theatre Redlands will present the 2026 Australia Day Play at Redlands Coast Museum.
Dinkum Assorted is an Australian play written by Linda Aronson.
The Story
It’s 1942. Australia braces for invasion, and in the remote town of Warrabadanga—temporary home to two thousand American airmen—fifteen determined women are fighting to keep the biscuit factory alive.
Just like the biscuits, the women are a true assortment but despite their differences, they discover strength in solidarity. Situations change and relationships change; their journey blends drama, humour and camaraderie in a story full of heart and spirit.
Produced by Theatre Redlands and directed by Jan Nary
