This infamous radio play, based on the novel by H. G. Wells, vividly tracks a martian invasion through the eyes of a reporter and a scientist watching it unfold. It was so realistic, some listeners of the original broadcast believed an actual alien takeover was happening!
Written by Howard E. Koch and directed by Liz Carlson, this iconic piece of radio theatre is the very first from the new Studio 51/Bill Dufris Memorial Studio on the Gorham campus.
