Dr. Frightful Presents: Dead Air
Neverending Highway Theatre—Rachel Browne
This quartet of performers are putting on a chiller-thriller radio play sometime in the late 50’s, as well as dealing with their own inter-personal relations when off the air.
I really enjoyed the radio play part of the show, as they were doing all the sound effects and voices live. It was also fun to see what you wouldn’t see on the radio. Who knew crunching lettuce sounds like a zombie biting someone? I didn’t think the off-the-air scenes were as strong, but I guess it is meant to reflect some of that era’s corny stereotypes.
