Just because the curtain has come down does not mean our story has ended. No, it just means it's time to leave the theater because, as everybody knows, a story has no end. It goes on forever.
Our tale is titled, The Rim of Eternity, and where is it to be found? Everywhere and all around us. Each of us is condemned to move along life's narrow and slippery path, and no matter how valiantly we may strive to maintain our balance and how carefully we measure each stride, suddenly and without warning we are swept over the edge. That is when the mystery finally begins -- or is finally over.
"The Rim of Eternity," first broadcast over CBS Radio Mystery Theater, September 2, 1982.
The play's protagonist is portrayed by Larry Haines, who began acting in radio in the 1930s on the series Gangbusters. Eventually, he acted in some 15,000 radio plays before moving to television in 1951, joining the cast of the soap opera Search for Tomorrow shortly after it debuted and staying with it until the series ended in 1986. He played Stu Bergman.
