Escape presents “The Man Who Liked Dickens,” originally broadcast on CBS on December 21, 1952 (episode 162). Adapted by John Meston from Evelyn Waugh’s 1933 short story, the drama stars Terry Kilburn and Joseph Kearns.
In the remote Brazilian jungle, a weakened English traveler, Paul Henty, finds refuge with the isolated Mr. McMaster, whose devotion to Charles Dickens is as remarkable as it is unsettling. This darkly ironic tale of survival and hospitality was directed and produced by Antony Ellis.
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.
