Little Fella Bindi is a 1958 Australian musical comedy play by Peter Scriven. Performed by marionettes, it is a sequel to his popular The Tintookies and like that was produced by the Elizabethan Theatre Trust.[1][2]
It was Scriven's personal favourite.[3] The show toured widely all over Australia. One venue was Her Majesty's Theatre in Brisbane where it was performed to sell out seasons. The theatre seated nearly 2000 people per performance. Scriven later mounted 'The Ezplorers' and 'The Water Babies'.
