It was first produced by the Melbourne Repertory Theatre at the Athenaeum Hall in 1912.[1]
The Time Is Not Yet Ripe has since come to be acknowledged as an Australian classic, and was later published.[2][3] Its first major revival was by the Melbourne Theatre Company at the Comedy Theatre in 1973, and it also received professional productions in Sydney in 1977 and Adelaide in 1984.[4]
