MILLIE'S WAR
By Dorian Mode
Full Length Play, Australian, Comedy, 1910s / WWI, 1980s
Casting: 4M, 3F
Based on historical events, Millie's War is set in the 1980s when a number of women attempted to join official ANZAC Day marches across Canberra to commemorate women raped in war. Fourteen women were arrested. The following year, again in Canberra, around 250 women attempted to join the tail of the official ANZAC Day march but were stopped by police. The police were acting under a Section 23A of the Traffic Ordinance, a section conveniently gazetted the day before the march. Approximately 64 people, mainly women, were arrested and charged.
