Escape presents “Mars Is Heaven,” originally broadcast on CBS on June 2, 1950. Commonly listed as episode 125, though some logs number it 113, this Ray Bradbury adaptation was written for radio by Morton Fine and David Friedkin and directed by William N. Robson.
Captain John Black leads an Earth rocket expedition to Mars, where the crew discovers a peaceful small American town that seems uncannily familiar—and far removed from the alien world they expected. Jeff Corey, Florence Bates, Paul Frees, and Ian Wolfe star in this haunting science-fiction drama adapted from Bradbury’s short story “Mars Is Heaven!”
Escape presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
