The Earthquake Shakes the Land

The Earthquake Shakes the Land is an Australian radio play in verse by Douglas Stewart.

[1] It was a companion piece to Stewart's The Golden Lover.

[3] The Bulletin reviewed it saying the play was "something too big for an hour and a half of radio.

It is right that it should be played fast, but haste is different; and the impression is that this is being hastily done.

"[5] Unlike Stewart's other verse plays performed on radio, The Fire in the Snow, Ned Kelly, Shipwrecked, Fisher's Ghost and The Golden Lover, it was not published in book form.
