There were a number of problems in adapting to radio what is probably the most famous play written in America. The question of network censorship was not the least of these since, through the years, certain conventions have come about regarding what is and what is not fit for the ears of children (of whatever ages). One of the first problems, then, was to prune judiciously whatever clarity became frankness. Surprisingly enough, the network, once it had accepted the whole, found little fault with any of its parts. I did, of course, use discretion before presenting the script for certification. All references to Nina's extracurricular activities in the hospital had been deleted. Also, eliminated was the fifth and final scene (in the play) of Part One, in which Nina and Darrell rhapsodize over their love and certain amorous events of recent occurrence. This is the scene that ends with Darrell's renunciation and flight to Europe.
