Mother's Day (play)

Mother's Day is a 1940 Australian play by Leslie Rees. It received a number of amateur productions.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Reviewing a production Wireless Weekly called it "an unpretentious and pleasant enough one-act play. His juvenile characters are well drawn, but the denouement is easily anticipated."^[5]

The play was published in a 1944 collection Six Australian One Act Plays.^[6]^[7]

It was one of the plays recommended for production in 1940 by the Playwrights' Advisory Board.^[8]
