LISTEN TO THE MOST MEMORABLE RADIO DRAMA IN AMERICAN HISTORY!

“A wave of mass hysteria seized thousands of radio listeners between 8:15 and 9:30 o’clock last night when a broadcast of a dramatization of an H. G. Wells fantasy, The War of the Worlds, led thousands to believe that an interplanetary conflict had started with invading Martians spreading wide death and destruction on New Jersey and New York.” —Excerpt from The New York Times, October 31, 1938 

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

 “A full-cast performance of The War of the Worlds uses immersive soundscapes, realistic effects, and shifting musical tones to heighten the terror of an alien invasion. Voices are distinct and sharply drawn. Keith Burnett imbues his performance with calm authority that fractures into mounting dread, and Noelle Dupuis brings urgent emotional clarity. Supporting actors add texture and scale to panicked crowd scenes. Scene transitions, pacing, and dialogue deliver moments of shock and despair with precision. The adaptation preserves Wells’ storyline…[and] tThe tense performances deepen listeners’ sense of danger and vulnerability.” —AudioFile
