Our Spring 2024 show was the premiere of local author Michael Lin’s Cold-War spy thriller, “Women Behind the Curtain”, accompanied by our recreation of the 1948 radio play “The Outcasts”.

Both audio plays were presented on stage in the style of old-time radio with actors at microphones and sound effects performed live by our talented Foley artists!

Women Behind the Curtain

In Michael Lin’s spy thriller “Women Behind the Curtain”, directed by Jay Sekora, a French spy in the Soviet Union finds unexpected allies — and unexpected enemies!

The Outcasts

This short radio play was part of the Lest We Forget series, commissioned by the US government after World War II to promote values of pluralism and tolerance. (Yes, that was also the time of Jim Crow — we’ve always been a complicated country.) In “The Outcasts”, directed by Kitty Drexel, a group of homeowners wonder whether prospective homebuyers are the kinds of neighbors they want — and one of them has to decide whether to risk speaking her mind.

The Post-Meridian Radio Players are proud to present our original full-length adaptation of the science-fiction classic, Metropolis!

Based on the original novel by Thea von Harbou and the 1927 Fritz Lang film, Metropolis tells the story of a futuristic city harshly divided between the working class and the city élites. When the son of the city's Master Builder falls in love with a beautiful working-class prophet, a class war explodes into the streets, made all the worse by the inventor Rotwang’s plan to replace the working class with humanoid machines. Can Metropolis be saved before it burns to the ground?

Mare Freed, Naomi Hinchen, Jeremy Holstein, Brian Kjersten and Michael McAfee adapted the original novel by Thea von Harbou and her screenplay for the Fritz Lang film, and Jay Sekora will direct.

Filibus: The Mysterious Sky Pirate and Confidence Confidant

Jay — Fri, 04 Jan 2019 02:15:01 +0000

Performances: April 5, 6, 11, 12, and 13, 2019.
(8pm performances on all dates, plus a 2pm matinée on Saturday the 6th. Thursday the 11th will be a pay-what-you-can night.)
Location: Boston Brunch Church (formerly Responsible Grace), 204 Elm Street, Somerville.

The Post-Meridian Radio Players are proud to announce our Spring show, “Filibus: The Mysterious Sky Pirate,” and “Confidence Confidant” — two adventure stories featuring daring women of disguise and intrigue!

Filibus: The Mysterious Sky Pirate is an original adaptation by Brian Kjersten of the 1915 silent film in which a daring burgler, Filibus (actually the Baroness de Troixmonde), uses her airship, an array of secret identities including the Count de la Brive, and a great deal of daring, charm, deception, and persuasion, in an attempt not only to steal valuable jewels, but to demonstrate her superior abilities of deception and best her antagonist, the famous detective Hardy! (PMRP audiences may find a bit of an echo of Arsène Lupin in her!)

Confidence Confidant, an original script by Eva C. Schegulla, is based on a historical case of Kate Warne, the first female Pinkerton detective. Like the fictional Filibus, the historical Warne used deception, secret identities, courage, and charm to accomplish her goals; when Pinkterton told her women (in the mid-19th century) couldn’t be detectives, she persuaded him by pointing out that she could go places his male operatives couldn’t and talk to people who wouldn’t trust them. Among other cases, was involved in foiling a plot to assassinate Lincoln just before his inauguration.

“France, 1892. What should be a quiet train journey to Rouen for a retired military officer and an American gentlewoman on holiday is interrupted by a strange man of dubious origin.

What plans does this mysterious traveler have for his fellow passengers, and what connection does he have with Arsène Lupin, the infamous gentleman-thief?”

IT’S GO TIME!

Red and the crew find themselves embroiled in a civil war for merchandise rights and are forced to side with either the ghastly, disgusting, nine-foot-tall shambling insects, or the bad guys. Will our heroes keep their spirits up and their bile down long enough to save the day?
Presented in PMRP Radio-Vision.

Red Shift: Interplanetary Do-Gooder

Writer/director Rob Noyes' vision of the World of Tomorrow. Not the bleak, post-nuclear wasteland or industrial urban dystopia of 1980s science-fiction, but the clean, modernist utopia imagined by the 1939 World's Fair: a future which, through industry and hard work, promised to be streamlined, prosperous and bright; and beyond it lay the Cosmos, just waiting for exploration and colonization. Red Shift and Lumpy lived in just this kind of Universe, and Dr. Alberts and Penny Parker were keen to travel there. It turned out, however, to be just slightly off-center from what they were expecting.

――――― & ―――――

“And there shall be destruction and darkness come over creation,
and the beasts shall reign over the Earth!”

Nine years after the first atomic bomb was detonated near Alamogordo, New Mexico, a mute little girl found wandering the desert heralds a series of mysterious disappearances. Local authorities are stumped until an eccentric scientist from Washington arrives with his daughter to aid in the investigation. But what they uncover is so fantastic and so horrendous that news of their discovery could cause a nationwide panic!
Adapted by PMRP Artistic Director Neil Marsh from the classic 1954 big-bug film by Ted Sherdeman, Russell Hughes & George Worthing Yates (story).
