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]
