'''''Escape''''' is an American [[radio drama]]. It was radio's leading [[anthology series]] of high-adventure radio dramas, airing on [[CBS Radio Network|CBS]] from July 7, 1947 to September 25, 1954.<ref name="dunning">{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=EwtRbXNca0oC&dq=%22Escape+dramatic+adventure+anthology%22&pg=PA232 |last=Dunning |first=John |author-link=John Dunning (detective fiction author) |title=On the Air: The Encyclopedia of Old-Time Radio |date=1998 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, NY |isbn=978-0-19-507678-3 |pages=232–234 |edition=Revised |access-date=2024-11-11}}</ref>

== Overview ==
Since the program did not have a regular sponsor like ''[[Suspense (radio program)|Suspense]]'' (a sister program that often used the same actors and scripts), it was subjected to frequent schedule shifts and lower production budgets, although [[ARCO|Richfield Oil]] signed on as a sponsor for five months in 1950.

Despite these problems, ''Escape'' enthralled many listeners during its seven-year run. The series' well-remembered opening combined [[Modest Mussorgsky|Mussorgsky]]'s ''[[Night on Bald Mountain]]'' with this introduction, as intoned by [[William Conrad]] and later [[Paul Frees]]:
:"Tired of the everyday grind? Ever dream of a life of romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you... ''Escape!''"

Following the opening theme, a second announcer (usually Roy Rowan) would add:
:"''Escape''! Designed to free you from the four walls of today for a half-hour of high adventure!"

==Adaptations==
Of the more than 230 ''Escape'' episodes, most have survived in good condition. Many story premises, both originals and adaptations, involved a protagonist in dire life-or-death straits, and the series featured more [[science fiction]] and [[supernatural]] tales than ''Suspense''. Some of the memorable adaptations include [[Daphne du Maurier]]'s "[[The Birds (story)|The Birds]]", [[Carl Stephenson (author)|Carl Stephenson]]'s "[[Leiningen Versus the Ants]]", [[Algernon Blackwood]]'s "Confession", [[Ray Bradbury]]'s oft-reprinted "[[Mars Is Heaven!|Mars Is Heaven]]", [[George R. Stewart]]'s ''[[Earth Abides]]'' (the program's only two-parter), [[Richard Connell]]'s "[[The Most Dangerous Game]]" and [[F. Scott Fitzgerald]]'s "[[The Diamond as Big as the Ritz]]".

[[John Collier (fiction writer)|John Collier]]'s "Evening Primrose", about people who live inside a department store, was later adapted to TV as a [[Stephen Sondheim]] musical starring [[Anthony Perkins]]. [[William Conrad]], [[Harry Bartell]] and [[Elliott Reid]] were heard in the chilling "[[Three Skeleton Key]]" (broadcast on 15 November 1949), the tale of three men trapped in an isolated lighthouse by thousands of rats; the half-hour was adapted from an ''[[Esquire (magazine)|Esquire]]'' short story by the French writer George Toudouze and later remade for the March 17, 1950 broadcast starring [[Vincent Price]], [[Harry Bartell]] and [[Jeff Corey]] and again for the August 9, 1953 broadcast starring [[Paul Frees]], [[Ben Wright (actor)|Ben Wright]] and [[Jay Novello]].

Other actors on the series included [[Elvia Allman]], [[Eleanor Audley]], [[Parley Baer]], Michael Ann Barrett, [[Tony Barrett]], [[Harry Bartell]], Ted Bliss, Lillian Buyeff, [[Ken Christy]], [[William Conrad]], [[Ted de Corsia]], [[John Dehner]], [[Don Diamond]], [[Paul Dubov]], [[Sam Edwards]], [[Virginia Gregg]], [[Lou Merrill]], [[Howard McNear]], [[Jess Kirkpatrick]], Dee J. Thompson, [[Shep Menken]], [[Frank Gerstle]], [[George N. Neise|George Neise]], [[Jeanette Nolan]], [[Dan O'Herlihy]], [[Barney Phillips]], [[Forrest Lewis]], [[Robert Griffin (actor)|Robert Griffin]], [[Alan Reed]], [[William Johnstone (actor)|Bill Johnstone]], [[Sandra Gould]], [[Junius Matthews]], [[Carleton G. Young]], [[Marvin Miller (actor)|Marvin Miller]], [[Frank Lovejoy]], [[Berry Kroeger]], [[Vic Perrin]], [[Elliott Lewis (radio)|Elliott Lewis]], Eleanore Tanin, [[Herb Vigran]], [[Jack Webb]], [[Peggy Webber]], and [[Will Wright (actor)|Will Wright]].

Music was supplied by Del Castillo, organist Ivan Ditmars, [[Cy Feuer]], [[Wilbur Hatch]] and [[Leith Stevens]]. The primary announcer was Roy Rowan, while the introductory signature voice (the dramatic "voice of Escape") was played most often by either [[Paul Frees]] or [[William Conrad]], with other actors filling in at various times.

A [[Escape (1950 TV series)|television counterpart]] aired on CBS TV for a few months during 1950.

The program's opening announcement—"Tired of the everyday grind?"—was employed as a slogan for the counterculture magazine, ''New Escapologist''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://newescapologist.co.uk/ |title=New Escapologist |publisher=New Escapologist |access-date=2010-09-09}}</ref>
