The War of the Worlds
Based on the novel by H.G. Wells
By Howard Koch
Directed by Sue Rawkins
On the night of October 30, 1938, Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre accidentally convinced a nation that Martians had landed in New Jersey. Torquay Theatre Troupe brings that legendary broadcast back to life — staging an authentic recreation of the CBS recording session, exactly as it would have looked on that infamous Halloween night.
