090. SmorgShow Theater: Rope
from The SmorgShow Podcast (Smorgasbord Radio) Hosted by The SmorgShow Podcast
We are so excited to finally present our latest radio play that we have been working on since August. Normally the SmorgShow players re-enact classic radio dramas, but in this episode, we aim to deliver something a bit different. This time, we present to you a radio adaptation of "Rope", a 1948 American psychological crime thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock, based on the 1929 play of the same name by Patrick Hamilton. In our story, just before hosting a dinner party, Philip Morgan and Brandon Shaw strangle a mutual friend to death with a piece of rope, purely as a Nietzsche-inspired philosophical exercise. Hiding the body in a chest upon which they then arrange a buffet dinner, the pair welcome their guests, including the victim's oblivious fiancée and the college professor whose lectures inadvertently inspired the killing. The Cast (In Order of Appearance): Brandon Shaw – Thomas Larsen Phillip Morgan – Geoff Wells Mrs. Wilson – Chris Wells Kenneth Lawrence – Kip Coon Janet Walker – Ally Bockay Mr. Henry Kentley – Jerome Malauskas Mrs. Anita Atwater – Kim Bockay Rupert Cadell – Chris Bockay Man on Street – Baba Gonesh
