The Cellar Door was written by Bernard Girard and originally aired on the On Stage radio series, October 28, 1953. Three years later it was reprised for the Suspense radio series. It is a compelling story about a 2 year old child left unattended when his parents are accidentally locked in a basement. “The Cellar Door” is a well-crafted piece of radio drama that effectively combines domestic realism with suspenseful storytelling. The play’s ability to turn an ordinary scenario into a thrilling experience showcases the strength of radio as a medium for storytelling.
