Ask No Questions (play)


Ask No Questions is a 1940 Australian stage play by Gwen Meredith. It had an all-female cast. Meredith wrote it at the request of Doris Fitton who wanted some plays without no men, because male actors were hard to get with the war on.
The Sydney Morning Herald called it "a delightful comedy".
The Bulletin said "There are plenty of bright new gags. Perhaps it is that the ladies are merely indulging their natural habits, but whatever the reason there’s not a false note in the whole performance."
A performance of the play was broadcast on radio in 1941.
