Tomes of Terror

Generally an anthology of several terrifying tales, our Tomes of Terror performances happen around Hallowe’en. (Not all our Hallowe’en shows have been Tomes of Terror performances, though.)

Tomes of Terror: Spirits of Suspense

Congratulations to the cast of PMRP’s Halloween show, Tomes of Terror: Spirits of Suspense, recreating three classics of suspense and horror from the Golden Age of Radio. The show features

  • Suspense’s “Three O’Clock,” based on a story by Cornell Woollrich,
  • Lucille Fletcher’s radioplay “The Furnished Floor,” also from Suspense, and
  • Escape’s adaptation of Daphne du Maurier’s short story “The Birds,”.

and you can “Read more” to learn more about the radio plays and see the cast lists.

We hope to see you there! Tickets and reservations should be available by early October, so watch this space!

This Halloween the Post-Meridian Radio Players are proud to present Tomes of Terror: Beyond Grimm! Join us for original adaptations of four creepy tales from around the globe! We will be presenting:

Tomes of Terror: Nevermore

There’s one due date you can never escape! In October, 2014, the Post-Meridian Radio Players brought one of America's most respected authors to our stage this Hallowe’en in Tomes of Terror: Nevermore. We adapted three of Edgar Allan Poe’s classic stories, The Masque of the Red Death, The Cask of Amontillado, and The Fall of the House of Usher. And as a little extra treat to set the mood, we started with a dramatic reading of “The Raven”.

Tomes of Terror 3

There’s one due date you can never escape! In October 2008 we presented Tomes of Terror 3, featuring our recreations of a Hallowe’en episode of The Baby Snooks Show and “The Tell-Tale Heart” as adapted for Nightfall and “Reynardine”, an original adaptation of Athan Y. Chilton's short story “The Ballad of Reynardine”.
