It’s been 75 years today that radio took America by storm. That King of Radio Theatre, Orson Welles had convinced those who were glued to their sets that the Martians had invaded, and the rest was history.
No one questioned the power of the audio story again, nor the way it could rivet a listener and paint pictures in the mind that left an indelible mark.
And to mark the three quarter of a century mark, who else, but the modern day equivalent of Mercury Theatre on the Air, the award winning, ever freshly sounding Colonial Radio Theatre takes on a shiny new story of this timeless tale of H.G. Wells’ invasion from the Red Planet.
Veteran writer M.J. Elliott brings back the feel of 19th century England, and with the dulcet tones of our own enormously talented David Ault in the main role along with the expert and clear direction of Jerry Robbins at the helm this story is instantly a classic.
I had thought all versions of the Martian attack had been seen almost endlessly, but instead of reprising Orson Welles’ inventive modern day style, the CRT gang goes back to the roots.
This is why Colonial Radio has been so popular through the years, in my opinion. They are one of the very few companies that captivate the joy of radio plays from the past with the skills of modern storytelling.
If you’re a fan of history, a fan of science fiction, or aching to pull out your steampunk attire, don’t hesitate. Get yourself a copy of “War of the Worlds” from either Amazon or Audible today! At $6.95 it’s a steal!
A Prairie Home Companion‘s ultra talented Sue Scott speaks about the benefits of voice acting in Ann Arbor, and the power it provides to “shape shift” for the audience. Scott gushes, “Some voices I would never be able to sustain on a stage, because you have to project, and reach back of the house Somewhere in America, the Home Companion is coming your way. In Canada, we have our own Vinyl Cafe with Stuart McLean ,” said Scott. “For radio, the mic is right there, so you can use really intimate voices, or strange, scratchy voices I could never do for 7 or 8 performances a week on a stage. So it’s fun to find whole different category of voices. … I come from theater, but (fellow APHC actor)Tim Russell comes from radio, so we meet somewhere in the middle.”

The Minister of Chancestarring Julian Wadham, Jenny Agutter, Gethin Anthony, Lauren Crace, Paul Darrow, Beth Goddard, Tamsin Greig, Sylvester McCoy, Paul McGannNEWS RELEASE
The response to our crowd-funding campaign for Episode 4 of the Minister of Chance was incredible and we were able to greenlight it entirely based on fan support. However, as you may have already heard if you follow us on Facebook or Twitter, we then had to delay its recording because Lauren Crace, our lovely ‘Kitty’, had a baby! He’s very beautiful and we’re very excited to be starting recording in a couple of weeks time.We’ve used the waiting time to get the Episode 5 script ready for pre-production too – and this would be the final one in the first season. In an attempt to get straight onto that after Ep 4 we are therefore starting the cro
wd- funding campaign for Episode 5 on 23rd of November and it will run for one month until 23rd December with a host of new perks. We are always overwhelmed by the support of our fanbase and from so many of you, and we really, really appreciate every posting, every retweet and every Facebook mention.
Thank you.
Clare EdenAnd we couldn’t be happier! MORE Episodes of the Minister of Chance! How awesome is that?!
