Murder in the Cathedral is a 1962 Australian television play adapted from T. S. Eliot's 1935 play Murder in the Cathedral, about Thomas Becket.[2] It was one of a number of verse plays produced by the ABC.[3]

William Sterling said he wanted to adapt it for TV for a long time.[4] Australian TV drama was relatively rare at the time.[5]

Cast[edit]

Reception[edit]

The critic for the Sydney Morning Herald though the production "went closer to justifying its two hours traffic... than anyone had a right to expect."[6]

The Bulletin praised the acting but did not think the play was adapted particularly well for television.[7]

Filmink magazine said "It is beautifully shot with wonderful design though at two hours, it’s not an easy watch. Two hours of plot-light verse drama, all in the one set. Two. Hours. Cripes. Different time."[3]

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
