Mingled Yarn is a 1937 Australian radio play by Edmund Barclay about the life of William Shakespeare. It was broadcast on the ABC for Australian Drama Week.[1][2]

It aired on the anniversary of Shakespeare's birthday.[3]

Leslie Rees later wrote "Edmund Barclay wrote what seemed to me only the skeleton or prologue to an excellent study of the craftsman."[4]
