The Heritage of Wimpole Street - Radio City Playhouse

A short play based on the family life of beloved nineteenth-century poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning. After Elizabeth Browning and Robert Browning married, they left her father so bereft that he refused to see their grandson. The play, though fiction, portrays what might have happened if Edward Moulton Barrett lived to see his grandson.

Radio City Playhouse was a live half-hour anthology series that aired on NBC Radio from July 3, 1948 to January 1, 1950. Directed by Harry W. Junkin, with music by Dr. Roy Shield, and announcers Bob Warren (1948-49) and Fred Collins (1949-50), the series presented original radio dramas regardless of the fame of the author, so long as they were considered 'good'.

Originally Broadcast 12/13/1948
