Old Time Radio show

Escape: The Man Who Would Be King" is one of the most celebrated episodes from the classic radio series "Escape," which aired from 1947 to 1954. This particular episode, adapted from Rudyard Kipling's short story, was broadcast on July 7, 1950, and remains a fan favorite for its adventurous storytelling and compelling performances.
In this tale, listeners are transported to the rugged and mysterious landscapes of British India, where two former British soldiers, Daniel Dravot and Peachey Carnehan, portrayed by Ben Wright and Jay Novello respectively, concoct a daring plan to become kings of a remote area known as Kafiristan. The narrative follows their journey from the bustling streets of India to the untamed mountains, filled with intrigue, danger, and the quest for power.
The episode brilliantly captures the essence of adventure with its vivid sound effects - from the clanging of swords to the howling wind in the mountains, to the chanting of native tribes. The script maintains Kipling's themes of imperialism, friendship, and hubris, wrapped in an exotic adventure. The performances are rich with character, particularly in the portrayal of Dravot's descent into madness as he begins to believe in his own divinity, leading to a tragic yet poignant ending.
Escape was known for taking listeners on exotic journeys, and "The Man Who Would Be King" exemplifies this by offering a thrilling escape into a world where ambition meets fate, all through the power of radio storytelling.
