One of the finest performances of the radio era starring Elaine May • A haunting tale of family, memory, and obsession
Step into the remarkable world of Theatre Five, one of the last great anthology series of the Golden Age of Radio.
Originally broadcast in 1964, Mama's Girl stars the incomparable Elaine May in what many old-time radio enthusiasts consider one of the finest acting performances ever heard on radio. Rather than relying on monsters or murder, this unforgettable psychological drama builds its suspense through character, emotion, and the quiet fears that hide within ordinary lives.
If you enjoy Suspense, The Twilight Zone, CBS Radio Mystery Theater, or thoughtful literary drama, you'll find Mama's Girl to be an extraordinary listening experience.
🎙️ Broadcast from Chesterton Radio—where stories, ideas, and wonder meet.
