Caroline Chisolm is an Australian stage play by George Landen Dann.
[5] The play documents Caroline Chisholm's work with young immigrant women arriving in Australia in the early colonial period.
It covers her attempts to help the women find work and establish themselves, her inability to achieve the co-operation of George Gipps and spans the period 1840 to 1846 when Chisholm left Sydney, Australia for England where she worked for improvements in the conditions of English emigrants.
[2] Dann wrote the play long before the general public had recognised Chisholm as a figure of national importance.
It appeals to feelings of patriotism and philanthropy[2] and explores the conflict between her social calling and her duty towards her husband.
