Episode 23: Wells and Welles - Theater Review Chicago Premiere 2024

  • Summary

  • In 1938 twenty-five-year-old Orson Welles became famous after his radio play based on the novel "A War of the Worlds" shook the airwaves, purportedly nearly causing national panic. The book’s seventy-five-year-old author H.G. Wells was not amused at how his intellectual property was in his mind misused without permission. Written by Amy Crider the play is based on an actual encounter in 1940 while the two men, “Wells and Welles” both happened to be on lecture tours, finding each other in San Antonio, Texas on the same rainy night.
