  • Mary and the Fairy

    Mary and the Fairy
    Nov 1 2025
    In 1941, at the height of radio’s golden age, writer-director Norman Corwin—the poet laureate of the airwaves—penned a satirical fable that sparkled with humor and humanity. Mary and the Fairy debuted on the Columbia Workshop, with Elsa Lanchester and Ruth Gordon lending their comic brilliance to a story that pokes gentle fun at American advertising, wish fulfillment, and the dream of instant happiness. The play follows Mary Pooter, a sweet but simple shopgirl from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, who wins a radio contest sponsored by Crinkly-Crunkly Bread—“Nature’s Own All-Out Campaign to Build Sturdy Bodies and Strong Nerves.” Her prize? A visit from the company’s Good Fairy, who promises to grant her five wishes. Unfortunately, this particular fairy is less enchanted than overworked—a weary cog in a corporate promotion machine whose magic, like most advertising promises, comes with fine print. As Mary’s dreams unravel—romance, fame, sophistication, and all—Corwin’s script veers from whimsy to poignancy, reminding us that no magic wand can grant self-worth or love. Mary and the Fairy is both poignant and comedic, a wry commentary on consumer culture that still feels surprisingly fresh today. In this Naples Players Radio Theatre revival, the story takes on new resonance—a laugh, a sigh, and a knowing nod to anyone who’s ever wished for more than life could deliver.
