Dimboola is a Rabelaisian and rumbustious celebration of the wedding of Morrie McAdam - a protestant, to Reen Delaney - a catholic. No holds are barred as the two families come together for the wedding which Jack Hibberd calls "the testing of strengths of the newly conjugated tribes". The family members try to preserve social grace and dignity in the face of impending disasters. And disasters there are a plenty! After the drink has flowed a little too freely, mayhem and humour ensue when the families exchange insults and punches, as they resolve to come to terms with the situation.

Dimboola was written by Jack Hibberd in 1969 and had its premiere at La Mama, directed by Graeme Blundell. It is said that more Australians have seen Dimboola than any other musical, comedy or play. Now it returns to La Mama after 39 years.
