Sorry Wrong Number
Show Notes

Sorry Wrong Number is another superb audio drama written by Lucille Fletcher. It first aired on the Suspense Radio Program in  1943. Orson Welles called Sorry Wrong Number, "the single greatest radio script ever written." The story idea came to Fletcher while she was in a grocery story on Manhattan’s lower east side. There, she noticed a well-dressed woman with an obnoxious manner in the line-up. This unpleasant woman was the inspiration for the character of Mrs Stevenson. What dark fantasies was Lucille Fletcher having in that grocery story line-up, while she waited to pay for her bread, milk and a dozen eggs?

Co-hosts Mary Labrie and Greg Flynn talk about the amazing voice performances by Barbara Stanwyck and Burt Lancaster, as well as the creepy music by Bernard Herrmann, and other audio drama trivia.
