Aired 10/30/12
RADIO DRAMA
"Mars is Heaven!" by Ray Bradbury
Performed by Circle Circle dot dot
Listen to "mars is Heaven!" the second radio play from Ray Bradbury and performed by Circle Circle dot dot.
In September, Circle Circle dot dot did a fundraiser called "Invasion" in which they performed 5 radio dramas. KPBS arts reporter Beth Accomando was so impressed she asked them to come in and record the two Ray Bradbury plays for air.
"Mars is Heaven!" is a sci-fi short story written by Ray Bradbury and originally published in 1948 in "Planet Stories." Circle Circle dot dot performed it on September 9 at Ion Theater as a fundraiser for the theater company and for Jonathan Hammond's film project. Circle Circle dot dot's artistic director Katherine Haroff calls the company a "community based theater" because they produce original plays based on interviews with people from the San Diego area.
The fundraising event was a rare instance of the company working from previously published works.
So just in time for Halloween, enjoy this Bradbury sci-fi tale of man's forst mission to Mars.
