The Neighbours is a 1945 Australian radio play by Alexander Turner. It was one of Turner's most highly regarded plays.[2] He based it on the town of Geraldton, where Turner had lived.[3]
The play came equal first in a 1944 ABC playwriting competition (along with Safe Horizon by Jon Cleary), out of 234 entries.[4]
Reviewing the play, Leslie Rees wrote "no writer has so specifically and sharply caught the peculiar glint of Westralian light as Turner."[5]
A copy of the play is at the Fryer Library at the University of Queensland.[6]
