Content Summary:

Dolia Ribush (1896-1947), was a theatrical producer, who migrated to Australia in 1928 and founded Bush's Confectionery Pty Ltd. After producing some sketches at the Melbourne Russian Club in 1931-32 and later Chekhov's The Jubilee, he formed the amateur Dolia Ribush Players and produced Gorky's Lower Depths (1936), The Cherry Orchard (1938) and Afinegenov's Distant Point (1942). Ribush's most remarkable achievement was the first production of Douglas Stewart's Ned Kelly in 1944, and the performance at the Melbourne University Union Theatre was a landmark in Australian theatre.
