Mercury Theater
The Thirty-Nine Steps
par
Orson Welles’s Mercury Theatre on the Air brought literary works and dramatic stories to radio through vivid ensemble performances. The series is especially associated with Welles, whose commanding voice and theatrical imagination helped shape its distinctive sound.
Each broadcast presents a self-contained radio drama, using actors, dialogue, music, and sound effects to turn a story into an intimate listening experience. The program drew on a range of source material, including novels and plays, and its productions often move between suspense, adventure, and other dramatic moods.
With its theatrical performances and carefully crafted sound, Mercury Theatre offers the pleasure of a story unfolding entirely through the ear. This recording presents an adaptation of The Thirty-Nine Steps, bringing the series’ dramatic approach to a classic tale of intrigue and pursuit.
This recording is part of the Old Time Radio collection.
