ProductionA copy of the script was sent to Herb Elliott to see if he would take offence. He wrote back saying he approved of the play.[2] In January 1961 it was announced the play had been filmed.[3] ReceptionIt aired on Wednesday 24 October 1962 at 8 pm as part of a series of programs called By Special Request.[4] The critic for the Sydney Morning Herald wrote that the play "exemplified his [Seymour's] gift for finding subjects of universal potential combined with a central relevance to Australian occupations..."The Runner" promised well by taking as its central character a young Australian athlete rigorously trained to achieve fame far outdistancing his personal readiness for it."[5] References
