Nocturne is a 1939 Australian radio play by Edmund Barclay.
[2] It was called "a play of King's Cross, or of acorresponding section of Melbourne, or other Australian city, and it is a play of people enjoying the night life of the place, and who imagine they are having "a devil of a time" — frightfully smart and delightfully wicked.
"[3] The original production was produced by Frank Willis.
[4] The play about three couples in a Kings Cross cafe: Babs, a country girl, and a rich old man trying to seduce her; Eva, a married woman, and Kevin, who is in love with her; a country boy and a woman.
Wireless Weekly called it a "salty little play" where Barclay has given the characters "some very bright things to say, and they say them just as they should be said.
