Radio review – CP#32 – “Escape” (1939) **

This was a popular play whose attractions have not aged well. Orson Welles plays a man about town sentenced to gaol for accidentally killing a police officer while defending a prostitute. He later escapes and has a series of not-very-interesting adventures. The tone is light, which doesn’t quite work since he went to gaol for several years and he did kill someone (even if accidentally).
