Office Setting for Business Woman's Play
Miss Dorothy Blewett whose first three-act play, "Working Back," will be presented by the Dramatist Club of Australia at St Peter's, Eastern Hill, on Tuesday is a business woman, and she has given her play an office setting. She has already written several one-act plays. This play, which is a light comedy thriller, was specially written at the request of the producer, Mrs. Marjorie McLeod, for a cast of girls, and it has 18 characters. Because she does not act herself Miss Blewett finds her greatest difficulty is getting her characters on and off the stage expeditiously. She writes her plays in the evenings, after she has prepared dinner and washed up the dishes in the flat in East Melbourne, where she is living at present. Miss Blewett has published several short stories under the pen-name of Anne Praize, and in 1932 she published a book, "Vision," under this name.
An article published in The Argus newspaper on 21 October 1939 states that this play 'is a light comedy thriller... specially written at the request of producer, Mrs. Marjorie McLeod for a cast of girls, and it has 18 characters.'
The playscript has not survived.
