A Sirius Cove is a 1935 Australian comedy play by Lionel Shave.[1]
The play was one of the most highly regarded of the 1930s.[2]
The play was broadcast on Australian radio in 1938 as part of the ABC's Drama Week.[3]
It was broadcast on radio in England, South Africa and New Zealand.[4]
It was published in 1948 in a collection of Shave's one act plays.[5]
Reviewing the 1938 production, Wireless Weekly said "The obvious denouement creaked, but creaked pleasantly like Granny’s rocking- chair; you were pleased the dear old thing was still enjoying life. But too long. The creaking went on long after Granny’s bed-time. I was yawn-ing, and saying to myself, “Is she going to keep me up all night?”"[6]
