El Capitan and the Corporal

4:00 p.m. - El Capitan and the Corporal We continue a series of broadcasts of classic radio plays by the legendary Norman Corwin with “El Capitan and the Corporal”, a romance, a travel story, and a wartime memory. So many people traveled by train during World War II that train-travel recollections are a universal common denominator in our living memory of those years. Romance, sudden and unexpected, springs up between a young Army corporal and a woman he meets by chance on a cross-country trip. Corwin beautifully paints a fine, honest story of the human heart, against the strains and hopes and fears of that era. Norman Corwin is regarded as the Grand Master of American radio drama. In the 1940s he was one of the best-known personalities in America. His brilliant programs drew radio audiences of as many as sixty million people. Many of them were written, cast, rehearsed, produced, and performed live within a single week’s time. They often featured performances by some of the greatest stars of the era. Additional information about Norman Corwin’s remarkable career can be found at normancorwin.com. Technorati tags: , , ,
