The Laughing Woman is a 1934 British stage play by Gordon Daviot, a nom de plume for Elisabeth MacKintosh (1896-1955) who also wrote under the name Josephine Tey.
"[5] The play was adapted for Australian radio in 1939 by Max Afford, starring Peter Finch and Neva Carr Glynn.
And Neva Carr-Glynn as Ingrid is not far behind... in the hands of the players it came to life — one of the most human, the most extraordinary, the most ruthless, the most delicate love stories that radio has been able to present.
Wireless Weekly said "It contains some of the most effective backyard squabbles I have heard in radio drama" but felt the accents were "not so good in parts.
His Rene Latour in 2GB's "Laughing Woman" was a gem, matched only by Thelma Scott's sensitive performance as Ingrid Rydman.
