The Chronicles of Astrimos

by Bloody FM, Echoverse

Martin (Darren Criss) thought his life was on track - he was about to become a partner at his law-firm and propose to the woman of his dreams - when his grandmother Maisie (Kate Mulgrew) dies, leaving him an old LP record that derails everything. Playing it transports Martin into the fantastical, but shockingly real world of “The Chronicles of Astrimos,” a 1960’s sci-fi radio drama about the plucky young spaceship pilot Calico Jones (Maya Hawke) who is fighting to save her planet. Flipping involuntarily between Astrimos and the real-world, Martin realizes with horror that the life-and-death stakes in the story are real and his only hope of escape is to solve the mystery of his grandmother’s bizarre gift before it’s too late.Starring Darren Criss as Martin, Maya Hawke as Calico Jones.Featuring: Natalie Gold (Bridget), Quincy Tyler Bernstine (Councillor Dextra/Ruby Montrose), Alfred Molina (The Narrator), Peter Friedman (Phil), Azhar Khan (Rami/Gawain), Jayne Houdyshell (Jean), Andy G
