Based on the novel by H.G. Wells,
The War of the Worlds radio drama shocked the world when it first aired on October 30th,
1938.
Many

believing that Earth was indeed under attack by Martian invaders.

foley effects artists, the show will recreate the experience of a
live radio drama in the making.
