Voyage on a Dinner Table is a 1954 Australian radio drama about Captain Cook by Shan Benson.[1]
The play was much acclaimed and was repeated several times.[2]
ABC Weekly said "the best scene was the clash between the forthright Captain Cook and the autocratic Sir Joseph Banks, and, as these two must have had many a verbal battle during their long voyage, one regretted that the author had not taken this for his theme instead of the somewhat nebulous conversation with the
musician, Burney.. Mr. Benson writes well enough to make one hope that he will pursue his quarry further."[3]
The play was published in an anthology Plays for Radio and Television, Nigel Samuel (editor) (London : Longman), 1959.
