The Curtain Rises is a 1946 Australian radio drama by Morris West. It looks at various figures in theatrical history such as John Barrymore.
It was the first notable drama from West's own production company, ARC.
One critic said " this feature makes no claim to being great art; but even if the quality does vary, as it must, there is good craftsmanship in some that I have heard, and the subject matter is alive with interest."
