Gather the household around, dim the lights, click here -- then sit back and enjoy the radio theater of Orson Welles.

This week . . . "A Tale Of Two Cities", the third offering of Welles's Mercury Theater On the Air, from  1938.



This show will only be on the site for a week, so download it if you can't listen to it right away -- and tune in next week for The 39 Steps, the fourth offering from the Mercury Theater On the Air.

[You can get more information on Welles's radio work and listen to or download many of his broadcasts here -- The Mercury Theater On the Air.  Many more broadcasts can be downloaded at this resource page on Wellesnet.  If you get hooked, you can buy a remarkable collection of almost all of Welles' radio work, as both actor and director, in MP3 format on 7 CDs at OTRCat -- which also offers the discs separately.]
