Tired of the Everyday Grind? We Offer You ... Escape!

"Tired of the everyday grind? Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you... Escape!"

Benchillina and the Fisherman
You are lost in the trackless wild of the Irish moors. Your only companion is a beautiful gypsy woman. You know that somewhere in the dark behind you, searching every foot of ground for you, is the giant of a man called Sherron, who plans to take your girl, and at the same time, take your life.

Bloodwaters
You are drifting along the muddy reaches of a South American river your diving gear in readiness the air pump going, yet you know that in the murky depths below you waiting in the slime there for you is a mortal enemy from whom there may be no escape…

Judgement Day at Crippled Deer
You are one of four people trapped in an isolated trading post somewhere in the Yukon Territory the blizzard outside making escape impossible and you know that before the spring thaws release you, before you can leave this cabin behind you, one of your companions by consent of the others will be killed…

The Dark Wall
“You’re standing alone in a mountain village somewhere in the puppet country of Andorra the high crag of the Pyrenees trapping the last of the daylight and you know that in one of the stone houses facing you, behind one of the doors that is closed against you is a beautiful whom you must find before she meets her death…”

The Birds
Escape brings you Daphne Du Maurier’s story The Birds adapted for radio by Robert Wright. Set in a farmhouse on the southern coast of England, the autumn countryside around is desolate and bleak. Nat notices that the birds on the coast are unusually restless and that the land and sea birds are mingling together in an unnatural partnership. This story was also portrayed by Lux Radio Theater on 20th July 1953 though this version is closer to Du Maurier’s 1952 novel.

The Eye of Evil
“You are standing in a moonlit clearing somewhere in the Burmese jungle the ruins of an ancient temple at your back while gliding silently across the grass towards you, the might of her hand held pointing at you is the beautiful yet deadly high priestess of the cult you have profaned, the exotic girl who must now take your life."

Escape is an American radio drama. It was radio's leading anthology series of high-adventure radio dramas, airing on CBS from July 7, 1947 to September 25, 1954.[1] Since the program did not have a regular sponsor like Suspense, it was subjected to frequent schedule shifts and lower production budgets, although Richfield Oil signed on as a sponsor for five months in 1950.

Despite these problems, Escape enthralled many listeners during its seven-year run. The series' well-remembered opening combined Mussorgsky's Night on Bald Mountain with this introduction, as intoned by William Conrad and later Paul Frees:

"Tired of the everyday grind? Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you... Escape!"
Following the opening theme, a second announcer (usually Roy Rowan) would add:

"Escape! Designed to free you from the four walls of today for a half-hour of high adventure!"
