In 1938, Orson Welles staged the infamous radio drama War of the Worlds on CBS Radio.
Based on HG Wells’ 1898 novel, the radio play’s unique format of covering the invasion of Martians entirely through live news reports, interviews, and on-the-scene coverage caused widespread panic across the country.
Lit Live Perth presents the original radio play with some Perth’s best actors as the reporters and announcers of this terrifying invasion, complete with a Foley desk to create the sound effects live!
From the company that brought The Vagina Monologues back to Perth, don’t miss this opportunity to experience a 1930s radio studio and the thrill and horror of hearing live reports on the war of the worlds!
LIT LIVE presents the original radio 1938 script live on stage at Venue 360 20 Thorogood Street, Burswood.
Fridays and Saturdays, August 1 and 2, 8 and 9 at 7.30pm
