Seapiece is a 1938 Australian radio play by Catherine Shepherd about an out of work actor.[1] [2]
The play was one of Shepherd's key works.[3]
The play was produced again in 1942, 1948 and 1952.
"Sea Piece takes us not to a ship, but to a middle-grade guest house at a coastal resort in England; the chief characters are a down-and-out actor and an engaged young woman who has just won £100 in a competition. From these not very unusual materials, Catherine Shepherd builds a drama which has observation behind every speech, and which suddenly rivets one with its decision to treat an apparently romantic situation with earnest realism."
