The Golden Cockerel is a 1951 Australian radio play by Catherine Shepherd about Alexander Pushkin.[1][2] It was one of a series of plays from Shepherd on writers.
The play was produced again in 1952, twice.[3][4]
Reviewing the 1952 production, The Age said " it became tedious so that attention wandered long before its end. Nor did the prolonged and thoroughly artificial death scene at the end improve matters. Here was a story but the people in it never really came to life and the most important thing in any drama is that its characters shall live."[5]
