The Train Stops
The bond between a father and daughter never breaks, but it can hurt each very much to maintain. If you don't understand this story, you probably aren't the father of a daughter or a daughter.
First broadcast over CBS Radio Mystery Theater on August 23, 1976:
This may be my favorite radio play by Elspeth Eric. One of two, I guess. The other is Mirror, Mirror, previously posted. This play also features two of my favorite radio actors, Norman Rose and Jada Rowland. They fit the roles here perfectly. Aside from two supporting actors, they carry the play entirely with their voices. Deep in the night, when I can't sleep, I listen intently to this play, catching every intonation, every emotion and I feel almost as if I have lived this story myself.
