Final Rune Productions Radio Drama - Waiting For A Window by Frederick GreenhalghWaiting For A Window
By Frederick Greenhalgh; Performed by a full cast
1 |MP3| – Approx. 26 Minutes [RADIO DRAMA]
Podcaster: Radio Drama Revival
Podcast: September 26th 2008

Fred gave me a chance to listen to the high quality version. I’d describe it as a richly atmospheric and rather nautical version of Waiting For Godot. Or perhaps as a sailor’s version of The Prisoner. But, it’s not so much scary as it is comforting. A tall tale of the sea and a fine sounding audio drama.

The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society’s “Dark Adventure Radio Theatre”Carsten Schmitt has some interesting news about the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society‘s Dark Adventure Radio Theatre:

After publishing “The Dunwich Horror” quite recently, the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society’s “Dark Adventure Radio Theatre” has announced the publication of yet another (audio) dramatization of one of the Grandmaster’s stories. “The Shadow Out of Time” will be available from October 1st 2008 on CD and as an MP3 download. As usual, it can be expected that the CD will not only feature the audio drama but also a host of goodies, like “authentic” (i.e. fake) newspaper clippings and photos. And its getting even better! Already announced is an adaption of probably one of the most popular and well-known stories of Lovecraft, “The Shadow over Innsmouth“. To prove that this not only a Cthulhuists wet dream DART have put up a production diary, including a seven minute “behind the scenes video”, which not only shows the actors in the recording studio but also provides some glimpses into the dialogue for the coming “The Shadow over Innsmouth“. Seems like times are looking good for Lovecraftian audio theatre. Fhtagn!

Cool, and Carsten promises a review of the “The Dunwich Horror” too!
