Adventures by Morse
A Coffin for the Lady
by
Adventures by Morse is an adventure anthology created and written by Carlton E. Morse, the radio dramatist also known for One Man’s Family and I Love a Mystery. Rather than following one continuing hero, the series presents different suspenseful stories, with Morse’s knack for vivid situations and strong dramatic characters at its center.
Each installment unfolds as a radio play, using dialogue, narration, music, and sound effects to bring its story to life. The program draws on the pleasures of classic radio adventure and mystery: unfolding danger, unexpected turns, and characters facing uncertain circumstances. The episode title, “A Coffin for the Lady,” suggests a shadowy mystery, while the drama itself is carried by the voices and atmosphere of the broadcast.
The result is a compact, theatrical listening experience shaped by Morse’s storytelling and the expressive tools of radio. Listeners can settle into a self-contained tale where suspense is built through performance and sound, with the imagination filling in what the microphone leaves unseen.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
