The Problem of Johnny Flourcake is a 1949 Australian radio feature by Ralph Peterson. It was written in verse.
The play was acclaimed and the ABC presented it again in March 1950 with the lead role played by Anthony Quayle, then touring Australia in a play.[1][2] This established a relationship between Peterson and Quayle that proved crucial when Quayle helped Peterson's play The Square Ring be produced.[3]
