The Forger (radio play)

The Forger is a 1964 Australian radio play by Hal Porter about Thomas Griffiths Wainewright.

[1][2] Wainewright's life was previously adapted for Australian radio in Portrait of a Gentleman and Porter had fictionalised Wainewright's life in his novel The Tilted Cross.

Leslie Rees wrote "According to the thesis advanced by Porter, it was Wainewright’s covetous, bitchy and calculating wife who looked after the three mysterious killings in England for which Wainewright himself has traditionally taken the brunt of blame.

So in the play the wife bulked just as large as did Thomas, possibly more so.

On the A.B.C., The Forger made a telling, unpredictable hour.
