"Shadow on the Wall" is the 15th television play episode of the second season of the Australian anthology television series Wednesday Theatre. It was recorded in 1967 as part of Australian Playhouse but was not aired until 10 April 1968 in Melbourne and Sydney.[1][2] as part of Wednesday Theatre. It was a rare contemporary Australian TV drama to address the Vietnam War. It ran for 30 mins.[3][4]

Premise

In a North Vietnamese village, there is conflict between a local priest and the local political commissar.[5]

Production

It was filmed at ABC's studios in Ripponlea in April 1967 for Australian Playhouse but was not screened until the following year, when it aired as an episode of Wednesday Theatre.[6]

Reception

The Age said it "might've been a good idea but it didn't come off" arguing the play was more suited to radio and that the actors and sets were not convincing and adding it "lacked conviction - and the climax was missed photographically."[7]
