The Fantastic Case of The Four Specialists explained

The Fantastic Case of the Four Specialists is a 1937 Australian radio play by Max Afford. The play was one of Afford's best known.

It was the first Australian play to be translated into Polish. The plahy also sold to Canada.[1]

Wireless Weekly thought the play "promised well, but finished by being dreary... The idea was a good one. The producer and the players did the best they could, but the play did not click. It was too long, and the speeches were too long."

The play was produced again in 1938 and 1940.
