Humping the Bluey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Humping the Bluey is a 1911 Australian stage play by Dora Mostyn produced by George Marlow.[1][2][3] It was one of the last plays in the "bushranging cycle" of Australian playwriting.[4]

The Sydney Morning Herald said "the George Marlow company sustained the action with spirit."[5]

Among the other Australian plays produced by Marlow were My Mate by Edmund Duggan and Soldier and Sweetheart by Wilton Welch.[6]
