This Sunday, Vintage Classic Radio's "Sunday Night Playhouse" invites you to step back in time with the "NBC University Theater" radio show for an engaging adaptation of E.M. Forster's "Howard's End." Originally broadcast on March 26th, 1950, this episode stars Angela Lansbury in a compelling narrative that delves into the intertwining lives of three families in England's changing social landscape of the early 20th century. The story meticulously explores themes of class division, cultural clash, and the challenges of personal integrity. Angela Lansbury's portrayal is both nuanced and powerful, supported by John Carradine's authoritative voice and Vanessa Brown's lively and spirited character interpretation. This performance not only brings the complex characters and emotional depth of Forster's work to life but also underscores the timeless relevance of his themes.
