Salem, Massachusetts, 1692. A community stands accused of witchcraft, and in the mood of fear and recrimination that quickly develops men denounce their neighbours, truth is perverted by superstition, and an innocent word or deed can be distorted into damning evidence of guilt.

The voice of reason is drowned by the rising tide of hysteria as events acquire their own momentum and run out of control.

Drawing its inspiration from the McCarthy hearings in the United States in the 1950s, 'The Crucible' uses seventeenth-century history to explore the consequences for society when men allow the dark forces of unreason to be unleashed.

This recording offers a powerful performance of a haunting and provocative masterpiece of postwar drama.

The Colonial Radio Theatre pulls out all the stops in this magnificent production of the Charles Dickens classic! Newly recorded in 2004 (from their original 1998 script), "A Christmas Carol" is a great match for radio theatre, and CRT has remained faithful to the book in every way. Jeffrey Gage has created one of his finest music scores - from the powerful, booming opening of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen," to the frightening tones of the Ghost of Christmas Future; add a fantastic cast, a couple of hundred sound effects,(you supply the egg nog) and you have a holiday treat for all ages.

Excellent in everyway

This program is the ultimate in Christmas oriented audio theater. The music score is awesome, the acting and sound effects superb. The Colonial Radio Theatre folks were very true to the book, and have included sections that are almost universally edited out. This does not hurt the flow of the story at all. Dickens was a master, and this his masterpiece. Download this one and you will be very very impressed... Merry Christmas everyone!
