What happens when a couple of low-level Russian embassy workers flee New York, wind up in Cincinnati, and one becomes a member of professional baseball’s oldest franchise? That’s the fun that Rod Serling (pre-“The Twilight Zone”) stirs up in his teleplay, “O’Toole from Moscow.”

It aired only once, in 1955, and the script was thought lost, but our John Kiesewetter found it, and with the permission of Serling’s daughter, adapted it into a radio play coming to 91.7 WVXU and 88.5 WMUB on Wednesday evening. Students from UC’s College-Conservatory of Music perform the play under the direction of Richard Hess and technical direction by Josh Elstro.
