Merry-Go-Round is a 1936 Australian radio play by Max Afford. It won first prize in the ABC Radio Contest for best play.[1][2]
It was based on Afford's time as a journalist, in particular reporting on a fete at the children's hospital.[3][4]
The Sydney Morning Herald called it "excellent radio drama".[5]
In 1937 Edmund Barclay said "The perfect radio play remains to be written; the nearest to it, in Australia, is Max Afford’s Merry-Go-Round."[6]
