Letters to Lindy - A staged reading

By Alana Valentine. Directed by Susan Lynch.

“A dingo’s got my baby”.

The ensuing events and court cases captivated a nation. A mother accused of murdering her child, her claim of a dingo taking her baby denied and discredited. It divided the nation into those supporting the dingo theory and those who saw the mother as evil.

For the first time in Perth, the Victoria Park Centre for the Arts presents a staged reading of the powerful script by Alana Valentine based on the vast collection of more than 20,000 letters written to Lindy and the transcripts from the many coroner inquests and court cases. It reveals the media circus, the rumours, the rancour, the vitriol and kindness and support, the prejudices and a flawed legal system.

Victoria Park Centre for the Arts has gathered an ensemble of Perth’s talented and accomplished performers to present this riveting and thought-provoking work.
