This week from "The Willamette Radio Workshop" we present the timeless classic: "The Fall of the City", was written for radio by Archibald McLeish and first broadcast on the Columbia Workshop Radio Series, April 11, 1937. The cast featured 22 year-old Orson Welles, along with a young Burgess Meredith. McLeish wrote the play in verse, inspired by two historical events – the annexation of Austria by Nazi Germany and the conquest of the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, without resistance, by Hernán Cortés in 1521.
