A Spring Song

A Spring Song is a 1958 Australian play by Ray Mathew.

The play was given a reading by the Elizabethan Theatre Trust in 1957. The Age called the script "moving". It played at the Sydney Pocket Theatre in 1958 and the Sydney Morning Herald said it was "not a success".

The play was successfully presented at the Edinburgh Festival in 1964 and transferred to the West End that year. The Evening Standard called it a "mellow, sentimental melodrama".

The play was filmed for Canadian television in 1965 with the story relocated to Canada. Zoe Caldwell starred.
