Radioplay - Halloween Horror - The Fall of the House of Usher

The Radioplay Hour

This recreation of an Edgar Allen Poe classic involved cast members from a local theatre group in Moreton Bay called, Ghost light Theatre! I had a blast recording & working with these individuals in this theatrical dramatization of a Poe horror classic.
Luke Lilly is our unknown narrator and friend Roderick Usher, voiced by John Stibbarb, who witnesses the destruction of The House of Usher. Other vocal performances are done by Gary Farmer Trickett & Sandra Harman. The Fall of the House of Usher was written by Les Crutchfield, based on the story by Edgar Allen Poe.

I should advise this episode contains elements of horror that might not be suitable for young ears under the age of 15.

Sound effects & direction sound were done by Nathan Schulz, other known as The Drama Merchant.
