I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream - Radio Drama

Series Description: Fans of Old-Time radio and science fiction undoubtedly know of the 1950's DIMENSION X and X MINUS ONE series that aired on NBC stations in the United States. These brought some of the very best stories of noted science fiction authors of the day to the airwaves. Continuing in this tradition, a series of four radio plays aired early in 2002 over BBC Radio 4. The series was entitled "Chillers" or, from a BBC promo note, "Chillers, Four Tales of Terror". All four plays were dramatized by Mike Walker, winner of the 2001 Gold Sony Award for Drama, for his original science fiction fable "Alpha". Series producer was Ned Chaillet who produced "Man In Snow", winner of the 2001 Bronze Sony Award for Drama. Mr. Chaillet also directed two of the plays. The other two were directed by Rachel Horan, a young director from Dublin who had previously directed a number of plays for BBC Radio 4. The plays aired on Radio 4 on Thursdays at 11 PM, each play running 30 minutes. As in the radio plays of the 50's, they bring to radio the stories of major science fiction authors but with the use of modern techniques. Each is an very enjoyable listen.
