It begins as static...then,
you hear a voice, desperate, frightened, coming from a shack in
the Cape Cod dunes, broadcasting his story to anyone who might be
listening. He tells an unbelievable tale of missing persons and
an unseen enemy that may already have conquered us.
Is he
insane? Is he deluded? And most terrifying of all, is he telling
the truth?
Some
People Are Missing on Canal Street was written as an experiment
to try to duplicate the same shock in the listener that was generated
by The Mercury Theater's legendary production of The War of
the Worlds. In that production, near the end of the program,
a lone survivor hides out in a shack, trying to contact someone,
anyone. "2X2L...2X2L....isn't there anyone on the air?!"
Excellent for Halloween.
