ABOUT THE SHOW

An alien invasion throws humanity into chaos in the classic sci-fi novel The War of the Worlds--but all it took to cause real-life panic in the streets was Orson Welles's 1938 radio adaptation, which listeners took for news. This original script detailing the frightening tale of an extraterrestrial takeover brings to life the panic that ensued in a thrilling homage to the form's golden age and timely reminder of what fear can do to a society.

Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.

— H. G. Wells (1898), The War of the Worlds.
