A Christmas Carol (Re-Broadcast)

On Christmas Eve 1939, Lionel Barrymore teamed with Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre for a Campbell Playhouse production of 'A Christmas Carol' on the Columbia Broadcasting System. Welles, himself, served as the narrator. In the "spirit" of the holidays, we present this re-broadcast of our telling of the classic tale by Charles Dickens. The famous story features the miserly, Christmas-hating Ebenezer Scrooge whose heart and life are changed with the help of four holiday specters.

Dracula by Bram Stoker

Originally wanting Treasure Island to be the first Mercury Theatre broadcast, Orson Welles abruptly changed his mind a week before the recording to present Dracula by Bram Stoker, citing that the changing narrators and locations were ideal for radio. In tribute to Welles, our pilot episode will be Stoker's classic tale about the vampiric Count Dracula, who travels to England for fresh blood and to spread his dark curse. So, close your curtains, turn down the lights, and enjoy this classic tale of horror.
