Nocturne (radio play)

Nocturne is a 1939 Australian radio play by Edmund Barclay.

It was called "a play of King's Cross, or of acorresponding section of Melbourne, or other Australian city, and it is a play of people enjoying the night life of the place, and who imagine they are having "a devil of a time" — frightfully smart and delightfully wicked."

The original production was produced by Frank Willis.

Premise
The play about three couples in a Kings Cross cafe: Babs, a country girl, and a rich old man trying to seduce her; Eva, a married woman, and Kevin, who is in love with her; a country boy and a woman.

Reception
