Of Human Bondage
The 50 Greatest Old Time Radio Shows
Based on W. Somerset Maugham’s novel, Of Human Bondage follows Philip Carey, an aspiring artist whose clubfoot shapes his sense of himself and his place in the world. His search for purpose and affection leads him into a painful, consuming attachment to Mildred, a waitress whose feelings for him are uncertain.
The story moves through Philip’s changing ambitions and relationships, tracing his efforts to understand love, independence, and what makes a life meaningful. In this radio dramatization, dialogue and performance bring the novel’s emotional conflicts into focus, from the pull of unrequited desire to the possibility of choosing a different path.
Maugham’s work is known for its unsentimental view of human weakness and its close attention to the ways people deceive themselves. The result is an intimate, serious drama about longing, disappointment, and the difficult work of becoming free.
