Win passes to see Letters to Lindy at Brisbane Powerhouse

Most of us have heard of Lindy Chamberlain. Thrust into the spotlight in 1980 as a result of the devastating events that saw her accused of her own child’s murder, Lindy became one of 20th century Australia’s most well-known household names over the next 30 years as the trial unfolded. The case was as fascinating as it was heartbreaking – media and public opinion played a huge part in Lindy’s wrongful conviction, despite her unwavering claim that her baby was taken by a dingo. As the nation followed along with the case, more than 20,000 letters were sent from the public who were compelled to write to Lindy expressing everything from sympathy to death threats and even marriage proposals.

Award-winning playwright Alana Valentine has curated a selection of these letters, along with official interviews with Lindy herself, to create Letters to Lindy. The play unpacks the devastating true tale, giving insight into the case and to the resilience of Lindy as she both grieved for her child and fought for justice. Captivating in the lead role of Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton, Jeanette Cronin paints a riveting portrait of the woman who kept Australia’s attention for close to three decades.
