Should the Woman Pay is a 1966 Australian television play by Monte Miller. It was part of Australian Playhouse. It was directed by Patrick Barton.

Plot

A husband returns home to find his wife Marcia living with another man. He uses the law to maintain himself. [1]

  • Marcella Burgoyne as Marcia
  • Wynn Roberts as the husband
  • Brian Burton
  • John Paton
  • Ray Angel

Production

It was written by Monte Miller, the Police Prosecutor from Bathurst.[2]

Reception

The Canberra Times called it :a clever idea, and I liked particularly the bright opening with music, and the polished performance by Marcella Burgoyne.[2]

The Sydney Morning Herald wrote that "although the play's triviality was not enhanced by any notable show of wit the author has capably dressed up the little plot, with dialogue which consistently keeps the note of casual comedy. Most of the entertainment came from the delightfully relaxed acting of Wynn Roberts as the artist husband who quietly and amiably traps his rival in his wife's flat."[3]
