An excellent adaption of the classic John Landis film, well converted to audio.
In stereo the Radio play is creepy as the film ever was.
With much of the original cast reprising there on screen roles we get a level of experience from a production team with a rep for hamming up performances. Many of the actors reprising roles come from a Shakespeare background and many are the gems of British television.
The exception being the use of radio actors as the 2 lead roles.
They are a perfect example of hammy.
Taking the story past the movie and even incorporating a pre movie scene with an escaped lunatic on the moors will give fans of the film a treat, while the original story is as riveting as ever right up to it's tragic and moving ending.
Director Dirk Maggs can be proud of this.
