The Mysterious Slumber

Description

In the 1700s, a woman named Mary Reynolds wakes up from a deep sleep having lost her memory, and her completely changed personality shocks her family.

Set in the 18th century, Mary Reynolds awakens from a coma with amnesia and exhibits a total reinvention of character, much to the surprise of her family.

Teenager Mary baffles her family when she wakes up one morning with a spanking new personality and recognizes no one. Her family enjoys Mary’s sweetened temperament but are horrified by the increasing frequency of these bizarre personality changes.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
