As active supporters of the Lantern Club, we attended the Bay Theatre Players' charity performance of Dinkum Assorted, a brassy, zany and moving mixture of comedy, drama, dance and music set in an Australian country town's biscuit factory during World War II. The play shows how the all-female factory workers fight to save the factory, run a ‘Mum’s Army’ Civil Defence Unit, put on a show for the War Effort - and cope with the fact that two thousand US airmen have just been stationed outside town.
It was an enjoyable evening and, to top it off, we won the lucky door prize of a large bottle of Teacher's Whisky. Cheers!
