The Sound of Thunder is a 1957 Australian television play by Australian writer Iain MacCormick. It starred Moira Carleton.[2] It was described as "the longest and most ambitious play ABN [the ABC] has put over so far"[1] although The Importance of Being Ernest, which followed on December 18, exceeded it by 12 minutes.
It was made at a time when Australian drama production was rare[3] and was one of the first productions in Melbourne.[4]
