Sunday 1 May 1960 — MELBOURNE

The theatre production Seagulls Over Sorrento is adapted to a TV play, performed live to air from the studios of HSV7.

The play, directed by Alf Potter, marked Crawford Productions’ first foray into television drama, having produced radio dramas and serials since the 1940s.

Appearing in Seagulls Over Sorrento were Bill Hodge, Frank Taylor, Brian James, Don Crosby, Peter Aanensen, Carl Bleazby and Stuart Wagstaff. Many of the cast were reprising their former theatre roles.

The 90-minute production was videotaped for later broadcast in other states.
