Peg O’ My Heart: An Irish Heiress and a London Legacy

In Lux Radio Theater’s touching and whimsical adaptation of "Peg O' My Heart: An Irish Heiress and a London Legacy", Marion Davies stars as Peg O’Connell, a spirited young Irish girl whose simple seaside life is turned upside down when she inherits a fortune—and is forced to live with a proper English family to “learn how to be a lady.” Co-starring Brian Aherne as the charming Sir Gerald Markham, this episode captures the humor, heartache, and cultural clashes that arise when Peg’s fiery nature meets British high society. As Peg navigates snobbery, unexpected love, and life-changing decisions, she discovers that true refinement has less to do with etiquette—and everything to do with heart. With memorable performances and a rich blend of comedy and drama, this radio version of the beloved play and silent film favorite will leave you smiling (and maybe even a little teary-eyed).
