Present Again is a 1952 Australian play by Maurice Francis. It premiered at the Independent Theatre in Sydney.[1] [2] It was produced by the Dramatic Group of Liberal Party Younth Clubs.[3]

The Sydney Morning Herald said "The play begins with fair promise as a period piece, but Mr Francis soon abandons these pretentions to costumed style and elegance, and allows his imagination to ramble waywardly downhill towards the humour standards of hard-working concert parties and the desperate topicalities of a musical comedy funnyman morbidly hungry for laughs. And, to give Mr Francis his due, he gets more laughs than he misses."[4]
