During the winter of 1642, with the rest of the world at war and the nation prepared to face invasion, two thousand American airman are stationed near the small country town of Warrabadanga. At the Dinkum Biscuits Factory, the fifteen female workers battle to keep the biscuits baking.
A rousing, human comedy, full of laughter, tension, comradeship, and seven highly singable songs, Dinkum Assorted is great entertainment and a small slice of Australian social history.
