Legend (1958 play)

Legend is a 1958 Australian play by Ric Throssell. Its original production was sponsored by the Elizabethan Theatre Trust.

Radio adaptation

It was adapted for ABC radio in 1959. The play was the third of Throssel's to be broadcast.
Leslie Rees said the production "made a marked impact, mainly because of its pathos and delicacy rather than because of dramatic conflicts or thematic conclusiveness."
