Broadcast from New York’s Mercury Theatre in 1938, this infamous radio play, based on the novel by H. G. Wells, had many terrified listeners convinced that an actual alien invasion of Earth was taking place. Adapted by Howard E. Koch, co-writer of Casablanca, and directed and narrated by Orson Welles, this original script detailing the frightening tale of an extraterrestrial takeover is now available to modern audiences to bring to life onstage and to thrill and chill audiences.

Now, 85 years later, Hunter Drama’s senior drama students will present a faithful recreation of the world’s most famous radio event. Directed by James Chapman (She Kills Monsters)
