Reunion (radio play)

Reunion is a 1938 Australian radio play by Rex Rienits.

It was based on a stage play which had been judged one of the four best plays in a literary competition celebrating 150 years of European settlement of Australia.

The play debuted in 1938. Wireless Weekly called it "bright and snappy in its action, although the story was tripe."

The play was very popular and was broadcast again in 1953.
