This week on Sunday Night Playhouse, Vintage Classic Radio presents Norman Corwin's sharp and spirited 1944 holiday classic, "The Plot to Overthrow Christmas". In this witty rhymed fantasy, a council of history's great villains meets to hatch a plan to destroy Christmas itself. Corwin uses humour and imagination to take aim at tyranny and the forces that thrive on fear, cruelty, and authoritarian power. It's a clever, fast-paced Christmas tale with an unmistakable wartime message: joy, freedom, and human decency are worth defending.
