<p><em>The most powerful thing that has been done on my story and the most true to what I lived through.</em> - Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton </p><p>The court case captivated a nation. A mother accused of murdering her child her claim that the baby was taken by a dingo denied and discredited by zealous police and a flawed legal system. The media circus the rumours the nation's prejudices laid bare. And in the eye of the storm: Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton. </p><p>Over three decades from baby Azaria's death to the final coroner's report the public's fascination with Lindy seldom waned. The National Library holds a collection of more than 20000 letters to Lindy. From sympathy to abuse from marriage proposals to death threats the correspondence traverses the gamut of responses to Lindy's story. </p><p><em>Letters to Lindy</em> draws on this correspondence and interviews with Lindy herself. It is an enthralling revealing and long overdue dialogue between Lindy and the nation; a portrait of the wisdom and resilience of a grieving mother. </p><p>This powerful work by award-winning playwright Alana Valentine (<em>Ladies Day Parramatta Girls</em>) explores the public's relationship with one of Australia's most iconic figures.</p>
