The Empty Shrine is a 1939 Australian radio play by Catherine Shepherd. It was one of her psychological dramas.[1]
The play was one of Shepherd's key works from this period.
"It is the story of a young man who is encouraged by his petting and adoring mother to believe that he has the makings in him of a brilliant writer. He breaks off an engagement with one girl, Jan, who is too real for him; and even his wife, Coral, eventually sees that they have both been worshipping at an Empty Shrine."
