Coat of Arms is a 1937 Australian radio play by Alexander Turner. It was a comedy for two actors.[1] The play was one of Turner's best known.[2]
The 1940 production starred Peter Finch and Muriel Steinbeck (the latter replacing Neva Carr Glynn).[3][4] Reviewing this Wireless Weekly said "The quiet treatment.. amounted almost to tonelessness in some moments. To a rapt listener, however, such a lack of boisterousness indicates no lack of feeling."[5]
