Post-Meridian RadioPod #3 "The Stone Ship" Live performance from October 29-31, 2007
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8th, 2008
Post-Meridian RadioPod #3 is the final installment in the three week-long
premiere of our 2007 live Halloween Thrillogy, Tomes of Terror II.
Once again we dug into the archives of the classic CBC Radio series Nightfall, where we came across one of Len Peterson's
scripts. For the original Tomes of Terror, we
performed his adaptation of the
classic horror story, The Monkey's Paw by W.W. Jacobs. In this script, Peterson stays with the theme of English short stories, but moves us a little further back in time and a few thousand miles from the quaint middle-class home of the Todds. Out into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, in fact...
For our final story this year, we were delighted to perform Len Peteron's adaptation of William Hope Hodgson's nail-biting sea adventure...
Post-Meridian RadioPod #3:
Another adaptation from Nightfall, this one
written by Len Peterson in 1980 and based on William Hope
Hodgson's eerie 1914 sea-bound thriller. In 1887, the crew of the
merchant windjammer Alfred Jessop, adrift for days and shrouded
in an unnatural mist, stumble across the wreck of an impossible
ship. Venturing aboard the derelict challenges the sanity of a stalwart British sea captain and his faithful crew.
