Notes

  • Chosen fourth in the Workers' Education Association (WEA) of Brisbane one-act play competition in 1932. The play was set for performance with The Giant (G.L. Dann's play, which had taken first prize) by the WEA later that year (according to contemporary newspapers), but the company instead performed another Waraker play, And Two Shall Meet (under the title Brotherhood).
