"A Christmas Play" is a 1965 Australian television play based on the work by Carl Orff. It aired as an episode of Wednesday Theatre on 22 December 1965 in Sydney and Melbourne.[2]
It was shot in Melbourne.[3] Choreography was by Rex Reid.[4]
That year the ABC also broadcast a ten-minute TV play, The Little Woodcarver written by Keith Smith, about a shepherd boy who lived in the Alps; and An Old Man and Christmas, starring Lou Vernon.[5]
The Canberra Times said the production "provided a feast for the eye that was not overshadowed by the musical fare. Faull is particularly at home in exploiting the technical resources that television offers."[6]
