Sure it’s a gimmick by the folks over at ‘Me and Orson Welles’ – but I’m a big fan of gimmicks, and Orson Welles.
Streaming online, on the same date/time as the original broadcast, will be Orson Welle’s magnificent ‘War of the Worlds’:
Orson Welle’s ‘War of the Worlds’ – Live 8PM Eastern, October 30th
If you’ve never heard it, you should. The ‘dead air’ as Welles creates the illusion of technical problems from the alien landing site is still shocking – amazingly, even after 70 years the production feels fresh and daring.
As I’ve just written, listen if you can.
