A DRAMATISTS PLAY SERVICE TITLE
Short Play, Drama / 8w, 4m
Lucille Fletcher
This thrilling double feature contains two short plays written by master of suspense Lucille Fletcher. The terror of the unknown abounds with these tales of a mysteriously reoccurring hitch-hiker and a neurotic homebody who overhears a murder.
Sorry, Wrong Number – Who’s on the other end of the line? In this tense thriller, neurotic Mrs. Stevenson accidentally overhears plans for a murder, which turns out to be her own. A whip-smart thriller whose influence can be seen in everything from Clue to Scream, Lucille Fletcher’s intimate play makes masterful use of the unknown and the mysterious.
The Hitch-Hiker – Ronald Adams, an average motorist, sets out to drive from Brooklyn to California, and early on his journey encounters a strange and inexplicable hitch-hiker who appears to precede him at every step of the way.
The Hitch-Hiker was originally written and produced as a radio play vehicle for Orson Welles in 1941. Sorry, Wrong Number premiered as a radio play on the Suspense radio hour on March 25, 1943. It starred Agnes Moorehead as Mrs. Stevenson.
