"Picture this Place" ...

With those words, one of broadcast's scariest tales began, and for thirty minutes, listeners in radio's "golden age" sat transfixed and horrified -- an experience audio theatre audiences of today can share with the past. Ahhhh but modern recording technology now allows for even greater horror ...

The One Act Players present a new THREE SKELETON KEY - full digital stereo recording, with newly created sound effects, and an original score composed and performed by John Clark Stiefel. Directed by Glenn Carlson and featuring the stalwart Scot Crisp and John Parsons,

Based on the short story by George Toudouze, our story tells the tale of three lighthouse keepers stationed off the coast of French Guyana in the 1930s. Their quiet if not monotonous life tending a lonely lighthouse is shattered one night by the arrival of a multitude of ravenous, flesh-eating ... RATS.

Creepy Tale will Stay with you long after the sun rises again ...

Icabod (father of Denny) Crane from The Black Coast of Noiree - 26 Oct 2004

After dark, go get yourself to an abandoned building on the edge of town where small and perhaps larger creatures scuttle by unseen as you listen to your player by sputtering candlelight. It's that kind of tale. Not one that makes you scream, or eject your dinner - just one that gets under your skin, inside your brain and creeps the bejeezus out of you. It'll be on your mind in the warm sunlight of morning as you eat your breakfast and dropping the spoon you'll sigh a ridiculous sigh of relief when the scrabbling at your patio door turns out to be your cat instead of ...

12 Books That Changed the World

Author : Melvyn Bragg

When we think of great events in the history of the world, we tend to think of war, revolution, political upheaval or natural catastrophe. But throughout history there have been moments of vital importance that have taken place not on the battlefield, or in the palaces of power, or even in the violence of nature, but between the pages of a book.

In our digitised age of instant information it is easy to underestimate the power of the printed word. In his fascinating new book accompanying the ITV series, Melvyn Bragg presents a vivid reminder of the book as agent of social, political and personal revolution.

Twelve Books that Changed the World presents a rich variety of human endeavour and a great diversity of characters.

There are also surprises. Here are famous books by Darwin, Newton and Shakespeare – but we also discover the stories behind some less well-known works, such as Marie Stopes’ Married Love, the original radical feminist Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Woman – and even the rules to an obscure ball game that became the most popular sport in the world . . .

Great Introduction

Nick Ashfield from Bristol - 19 Mar 2007

This is a great introduction to some books you might not have heard of before. It provides a 10 minute summary of each book. Excellent for listening to in the car on long car journeys. Would love to get it on DVD but unfortunately ITV have decided not to release it.

Le Morte D'Arthur Vol. 1 (Audio books)

"Le Morte d'Arthur remains an enchanted sea for the reader to swim about in, delighting at the random beauties of fifteenth-century prose."--Robert Graves

This monumental work made the Arthurian cycle available for the first time in English. Malory took a body of legends from Celtic folklore that had been adapted into French literature, gave them an English perspective, and produced a work which ever since has had tremendous
influence upon literature.

The story begins with King Uther Pendragon's use of enchantment to lay with Igraine, Duchess of Cornwall. Arthur is conceived and taken away in secret, returning as a young man to claim the throne by pulling the sword Excalibur from the stone. In retelling the story of Arthur's rule of Britain, Malory intertwines the romances of Guinevere and Launcelot, Tristram and Isolde, and Launcelot and Elaine. Sir Galahad's appearance at Camelot begins the quest for the Holy Grail.

Finally, Camelot is brought down by the conflict between King Arthur and his natural son, Mordred.
