Young Shakespeare (radio play)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Young Shakesepeare is a 1937 Australian radio drama by Kenneth Mackenzie about William Shakespeare.[1]
It is a verse drama and one of the most acclaimed in that format produced in Australia.[2]
According to Leslie Rees it "freshly interpreted the relations between Anne and the fledgling William —the restless youth, driven to leave Stratford because sudden realisation of a woman’s deceit had dried up the love running in his veins."[3]
The play was popular and was produced again in 1941.[4] This production was called one of the best radio plays of the year.[5]
A copy of the play is at the Fryer Library, University of Queensland.[6]
