Production


It was one of 20 TV plays produced by the ABC in 1964, [5]

It was filmed in Sydney and was the first televised play to feature only two characters[4]


Reception


The critic from the Sydney Morning Herald said "there is no point in pretending that" the play was "important or even honest" being essentially "a family radio serial... but as an exercise in the capacities of two performers to turn from newly married youngsters into nostalgic or ghostly elders, it retains at least a sporting interest."[6]

The Age called it "a treat".[7]
