Orson Welles broadcasting The War of the Worlds. Adapting freely from H.G. Wells' science fiction novel War of the Worlds, Welles and his Mercury Theater On the Air actors recast the story as a realistic sounding news broadcast.-

i have the audio recording of that masterful piece.... and let me tell you
it does sound exactly like a radio broadcast of the news ....the wild thing is because of the hysteria that ensued, Orson Welles had to revamp the second part of the drama and make it a first person account to quell the massive mobs that were listening to his show - 2 years ago
