The 2021 Senior Production to hit the Dorothy Pizzey stage is Letters to Lindy. This contemporary Australian work by award-winning playwright Alana Valentine (Ladies Day, Parramatta Girls) explores the public’s relationship with one of Australia’s most iconic figures.
Over three decades, from baby Azaria’s death to the final coroner’s report, the public’s fascination with Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton seldom waned. The National Library holds a collection of more than 20,000 letters to Lindy. From sympathy to abuse, from marriage proposals to death threats, the correspondence traverses the gamut of responses to Lindy’s story.
Letters to Lindy draws on this correspondence and interviews with Lindy herself. It is an enthralling and revealing dialogue between Lindy and the nation; a portrait of the wisdom and resilience of a grieving mother. Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton explained that it is “The most powerful thing that has been done on my story, and the most true to what I lived through.”
The cast and production team have been hard at work since the first week in February to bring this fascinating story to life.
It is certainly not to be missed.
