Seeing Our Way Back into Radio Theater
By: PATRICIA HILDEBRANDT
Utah radio theater producer Troy Thayne and co- producer Clyde Hettrick have created a new audio version of H.G. Wells' classic science fiction story "War of the Worlds"
Thayne’s first show, “War of the Worlds,” is produced “by the blind, for the blind.” Since most “War of the Worlds” movies were set in the U.S. , Thayne wanted his to be a more authentic telling of H.G. Wells’ story. Scriptwriter Sidney Williams, whose father was blind late in life, set the story in England , and the actors actually live in the area where the story is set. The story is true to the book, and Thayne manages to keep the “old time radio feel” to the production.

As I produce this I’m biased
The actors in the narrator Tom Mitchell
Martyn Tott is doing many voices it was a labor of love and they all did amazing work if I could do it all again I would change very little because it was a great learning experience and Martin especially was amazing
Sidney Williams adapted the actual novel by HG Wells into a radio drama that I don’t think it’s been surpassed and I’m grateful for his ability to take something so lengthy and combined it into an hour and a half dramatized audio well done guys

Flat and toneless narration
Better avoid this. The narration by everyone is simply flat. No warmth. No understanding of context.

Not as good as expected
First of all this is a piecemeal dramatization.
I was expecting a quality similar to Leonard's adaptation.
This is wooden, the ambience is wrong and the accent is horrible at times.
Regret buying this.
Iam a fan of War of Worlds and have two audio plays, the original book, two movies. I regret buying this edition.
