America’s premier radio theater company presents two masterpieces of science fiction and adventure. Recreating the breathless pace and convincing details of Orson Welles’ infamous broadcast of "War of the Worlds," L.A. Theatre Works shows why H.G. Wells’ classic novel, on which the broadcast is based, is truly the mother of all space invasions. Welles’ live broadcast in 1938 of an “eyewitness report” of an invasion from Mars caused a nationwide panic, and still resonates today. The company also performs Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s "The Lost World," the tale of a harrowing scientific expedition into the Amazon. Determined to prove the existence of prehistoric animals, Professor Challenger and his cohort discover a primeval plateau in the Amazon.
