## Resource

CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents “Murder by Decree,” episode 1358, originally broadcast on August 5, 1982. This historical drama was written by James Agate Jr. and features Marian Seldes, Earl Hammond, Bernard Grant, and Carol Teitel. In Tudor England, Queen Anne Boleyn faces the mounting pressures of King Henry VIII’s court as her marriage and position grow increasingly precarious. A tense, history-based drama centered on ambition, power, and the dangers surrounding the crown.
