Saturday Night Radio Drama - Ray Bradbury - Something Wicked This Way Comes

 

 

Set in Sixties Illinois, Something Wicked This Way Comes is the memorable story of two boys, James Nightshade and William Halloway. It tells the story of the evil that grips the boys' small Midwestern town with the arrival of a "dark carnival" one autumn midnight. The carnival is a thrilling and chilling world featuring a mirror maze that reflects a person's older or younger self, depending on their desires, and a magic carousel that leaves its riders a year older when it plays Chopin's Funeral March forwards and with each rotation, but makes them a year younger when it rotates backwards. Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes is dramatised by Diana Griffiths and stars Theo Gregory as Will and Josef Lindsay as Jim.

The adaptation of a story of Ray Bradbury I posted a few weeks back was popular.   I figured I'd give the people what they want again.

It's funny to hear them do mid-western yank accents.  They sort of almost get them. 

You might want to listen soon, these tend to get taken down from Youtube pretty fast, only to reappear under a different name.
