The Stronger

English · Drama, Radio

The Stronger is an episode of CBS Radio Workshop, the network’s experimental dramatic anthology. The series brought literary works, original plays, and other imaginative material to radio, using the medium’s voices, music, and sound effects to create a vivid listening experience.

Each broadcast offered a self-contained presentation rather than following a continuing cast of characters. The program’s anthology format made room for varied subjects and styles, with dramatic performances shaped for listening rather than simply transferred from the stage or page.

This adaptation of August Strindberg’s one-act play centers on a tense encounter between two women, one of whom speaks while the other remains silent. Its restrained, psychologically charged drama makes expressive use of dialogue, pauses, and performance, offering an intimate contrast to more action-driven radio stories.
