Sky without Birds

Sky without Birds is a 1952 Australian stage play by Oriel Gray.

The play made its debut at the New Theatre in Sydney. It was then produced in Adelaide and Brisbane.

Radio adaptation
The play was adapted for radio by the ABC in 1952.

The play was produced again in 1957.

Leslie Rees called it "a courageous tackling of a current social theme, with sensitive writing and feeling, but (in the stage version) too sluggish a movement towards a resolution. In the radio version, it played well."

Premise
At a railway settlement on the Nullabor plain, a group of Australians is joined by an immigrant, who is Jewish. He falls in love with a married woman.
