AFTERWARD by Edith Warton (Weird Tales)
from Tales of Suspense · host Random Acts
Drawn by the promise of an authentic haunt, New Yorkers Mary and Ned Boyne leave behind the bustle of America for a secluded Georgian house in Dorsetshire.Adapted from Edith Wharton’s chilling 1910 tale, Afterward unfolds in five haunting movements: a casual quest for the supernatural, a fateful windfall from the Blue Star Mine, and the slow-burn tension of unseen memories. As Mary immerses herself in the shadowed library and mist-cloaked avenues, she senses something more than history stirring in the walls. When Ned mysteriously disappears, Mary confronts a revelation as eerie as it is inevitable: the ghost they sought was already in their midst.Cast ListEdith Wharton (Narrator) … Buffy DavisAlida Stair … Carolyn JonesNed Boyne … John GuerrasioMary Boyne … BarbaraBarnes Parvis … Sean BakerTrimmle … Rachel AtkinsRobert Elwell … Alex LowePeters & the Inspector … Christopher ScottDramatised by Christopher Hawes; Produced & Directed by Marion Nancarrow; First broadcast BBC Radio 4, July 10 1997• Produced & directed by Marion Nancarrow • Immerse yourself in this atmospheric full-cast performance—where every creak and echo speaks of a haunting realized… only in retrospect.
