Description
Mercury Theatre On the Air s
A Tale of Two Cities
Produced, directed, scripted by Orson Welles Starring Orson Welles Written by Charles Dickens
The plot centers on the years leading up to the French Revolution and culminates in the Jacobin Reign of Terror. It tells the story of two men, Charles Darnay and Sydney Carton, who look similar but are very different in personality. Darnay is a romantic French aristocrat, while Carton is a cynical English barrister. However, the two are in love with the same woman, Lucie Manette. Both the novel's opening (It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. . .) and closing (It is a far, far better thing that I do. . .) are among the most famous lines in English literature
The finest radio drama of the 1930 s was The Mercury Theatre on the Air, a show featuring the acclaimed New York drama company founded by Orson Welles and John Houseman.
In its brief run, it featured an impressive array of talents, including Agnes Moorehead, Bernard Herrmann, and George Coulouris. The show is famous for its notorious War of the Worlds broadcast, but the other shows in the series are relatively unknown.
The show first broadcast on CBS and CBC in July 1938. It ran without a sponsor until December of that year, when it was picked up by Campbell s Soup and renamed The Campbell Playhouse.
Approximate play time of 1 hour.
