Radio review – CP#48 – “Broome Stages” (1939) ***

Orson Welles had a fondness for old actors so its no surprise to see him adapt a saga about an acting dynasty along the line of the Barrymores or the Redgraves. This gives him an excuse to recite some Shakespeare in character and play multiple roles. His co star is yet again Helen Hayes. It's quite entertaining; taken from a book by Clemence Dane
