AbstractHistoryArchive Description
The ABC's second live television play (after Leslie Rees's Sub-editors' Room, broadcast in late 1956).
According to contemporary newspaper reports:
The play co-stars Don Crosby as Dr. Arthur Ross, a nuclear physicist convicted of treason, and Bruce Beeby as Manning, a ruthless secret service man. The play tells of Dr. Ross' attempt to rehabilitate himself as a citizen after serving a prison term.
The Australian Women's Weekly also notes that the play 'has been specially adapted for TV in words and camera shots', but the author responsible for the adaptation has not been traced.
