The Resignation of Mr. Bagsworth is a 1937 Australian stage play by Lionel Shave. The play was one of the most highly regarded Australian one act plays of the 1930s.[1]
The play was produced on Australian radio in 1937,[2] 1938, 1939,[3] 1943, 1945 and 1950.
It was broadcast on radio in England, South Africa and New Zealand.[4]
The Bulletin said "there is a trick-ending, yet it is almost “in character”; it could almost happen; it is not just a piece of trickery but a piece of human truth—almost."[5]
The play was published in 1948 in a collection of Shave's one-act plays.[6]
