Biggles is a 1970 Australian revue-play by Ron Blair, Michael Boddy and Marcus Cooney. It was the first production at the Nimrod Theatre and was in the style of The Legend of King O'Malley. The original cast included Drew Forsythe, Anna Volska and John Hargreaves.[1][2]
The Sydney Morning Herald wrote "the show begins promisingly" but in the second half "distintegrates into slices of tediously familiar slapstick and even more tedious missionary work."[3]
