Australia Day Play 2026

Theatre Redlands offers the Redlands Coast an exciting program of authentic, community theatre and art.

Dinkum Assorted

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
