Everyman's Theater was a 30-minute old-time radio dramatic series. Its 26 episodes were broadcast on NBC from October 4, 1940, through March 28, 1941.

Created by Arch Oboler, Everyman's Theater succeeded Arch Oboler's Plays after the latter program was canceled. One website commented: "Arch Oboler's Plays was Oboler's breakout dramatic showcase over radio. Everyman's Theater further established Oboler's versatility and range, while underscoring Oboler's growing appeal to a far wider audience than he'd already established with Lights Out

A woman falls in love with a German prisoner from the submarine that had killed one who she loved. In those early years of European conflict vague rumors of atrocities had begun but who could possibly believe in the safety of their homes that soon there would be ashes of men, women and children sifting out of out of the crematoriums. Arch Oboler has written and created this love story for Everyman’s Theater starring Norma Shearer and with the acompaniment of Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde.

Originally Broadcast 12/20/1940
