6 1/4"x9 1/2" 32 page red board book with silver decoration. Publisher-Henry Holt and Company. The Plot to Overthrow Christmas is a radio play written by Norman Corwin and first performed on December 25, 1938.
“The Plot to Overthrow Christmas” first aired on December 25, 1938. It was written by the legendary Norman Corwin and is told entirely in rhyming verse. It is a veritable tour de force in its dark, rather ghastly depiction of demons, devils, and nefarious historical figures assigned to Hell who plot to destroy one of Christianity’s holiest celebrations. It was Corwin’s first original play on network radio after CBS hired him in 1938, and ran as the first episode of Norman Corwin’s Words Without Music.
