Last reading the play version of Sorry, Wrong Number & listening to the original radio drama: Compare and contrast the two different mediums (one is written, the other is acted out via radio). What was similar? What was different? Which version did you prefer and why?

Answer:
Sorry, Wrong Number tells the story of Mrs. Elbert Stevenson an invalid woman confined to her bed, who becomes increasingly frantic as the story progresses. The drama begins with Mrs. Stevenson attempting to call her husband, who is working late. Frustrated with the busy signal, she seeks the help of the operator who connects her through to what she assumes is her husband's office phone. Instead of hearing his familiar voice, she listens in on a conversation where two men are plotting a murder. The victim is a woman, home alone, who lives near a bridge. The men plan for the attack to take place just as the train crosses the bridge, so the sound will mask any screams from the victim.
Horrified by what she hears, Mrs. Stevenson calls the operator to demand that she trace the source of this call. The operator explains that only the police can push through a request like that, and so begins 20 minutes of calls to the police, telephone operators, and even to the phone company's Chief Operator as Mrs. Stevenson attempts to alert someone to the gravity of the situation. None of the people she talks to will acknowledge that she is in any danger. Meanwhile, the audience learns that Mrs. Stevenson has been confined to her bed for 12 years with anxiety issues. No one on the phone has the answers she's seeking and her anxiety mounts, building suspense that her health may be at risk.
The drama culminates in a scene were Mrs. Stevenson becomes certain that she's the target of the murder; after all, she lives near a train that crosses a bridge, and when she hears that her husband has left town on business, she knows that she will be at home alone at the designated time for the attack. In the final minutes she hears an intruder listening on the downstairs phone, and then she picks out footsteps coming up the stairs. She hastily calls the police for help, and just before they answer the phone, her terrified screams let the audience know that she has been caught by the killer.
The drama ends when the police ask about the nature of the caller's emergency. The killer picks up the phone, explains that he's fine, and says that he never meant to dial the police. He apologizes for dialing a wrong number and hangs up.
