12. _The Mercury Theatre on the Air_ [RealPlayer]
http://www.unknown.nu/mercury/

Most famous for its _War of the Worlds_ broadcast, this New York
drama company, founded by Orson Welles and John Houseman, produced a
number of highly acclaimed radio-adapted dramas in its brief tenure
(July-December 1938). Created and maintained by Kim Scarborough, this
site is a treasure trove for fans of radio drama, featuring all of
the surviving _Mercury Theatre_ programs in their entirety in both
streaming and downloadable RealPlayer format. In addition to the _War
of the Worlds_, highlights include _Julius Caesar_ (set in Fascist
Italy), _The 39 Steps_, _Heart of Darkness_, and _The Pickwick
Papers_. In December 1938, _Mercury Theatre_ was picked up by
Campbell Soup and became _Campbell Playhouse_. The site includes five
programs from _Campbell Playhouse_ (with plans to add more gradually)
as well as a seven-part radio series of _Les Miserables_ that was
written, produced, and directed by Orson Welles in 1937, and featured
many of the _Mercury_ players. A brief history of the _Mercury_ and
complete show lists round out the site. [MD]
