CBS Radio Workshop
Oedipus Story
CBS Radio Workshop was an experimental anthology series that brought drama, comedy, and other forms of radio storytelling to the air. Rather than following a single continuing cast or storyline, the program offered a changing selection of performances and subjects.
This recording is identified as “Oedipus Story,” suggesting a program centered on the Oedipus tale. The series’ anthology format made room for literary adaptations and imaginative dramatic treatments, using actors, dialogue, and sound to shape each presentation for listening.
The result is a varied kind of radio theater: a self-contained performance whose style and subject can shift from one installment to the next. Listeners can approach it as a dramatic interpretation of a classical story and as an example of the adventurous range associated with the CBS Radio Workshop.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
