For Halloween 2024, the Post Meridian Radio Players are proud to present “The Unseen Worlds of H. G. Wells”, four radio-drama adaptations of classic H. G. Wells stories!

In Robert Brophy’s adaptation of “The Cone”, a betrayed husband seeks a horrifying revenge upon his rival.

In Denise Baugh’s adaptation of “The Stolen Body”, a dabbler in the supernatural discovers some of the inconveniences that can arise when one foolishly leaves one’s body unattended.

In Michael McAfee’s adaptation of “The Inexperienced Ghost”, a group of friends at a club have a run-in with an unfortunate and somewhat ineffectual ghost.

And in Derek Webb’s adaptation of “The Invisible Man”, a disagreeable scientist discovers how to render himself invisible.

These audio plays will be presented on stage in the style of old-time radio with actors in front of microphones and sound effects performed live by our talented Foley artists!
