A melodrama by Ian Warden inspired by the battle over choosing the Site for the National Capital. Commissioned by St John's Schoolhouse Museum Board of Management, and produced by the Queanbeyan Players.

THE BATTLE OF THE SITES was an initiative of St John's Schoolhouse Museum in Canberra, as part of the city's Centenary celebrations in 2013. With meticulous in-depth research, it was written by one of Canberra's best-loved literary identities - the essayist and satirist, Ian Warden.

Using extracts from actual historic texts, the play explores the vehement disputes surrounding the choosing of the site for the National Capital, culminating in Lady Denman's triumphant declaration of the city's name on 12 March 1913.
