RADIOTHEATRE's

The Island Of Dr. Moreau


"Bianchi's adaptation has a brilliant arc that rises to a powerful climax, and leaves us with a lot to think about...I was truly impressed with the vocal characterizations...Storytelling is an art that is slipping away but Bianchi and his company are working hard to keep it alive and thriving. I think he deserves our support."

H.G.Wells' classic story about a mad scientist wishing to become a god amongst his own creations on an island paradise that turns into a living hell.  Although the novel has been adapted into three films and countless derivations through the years, you've never witnessed a terrifying live, stage version the way only Radiotheatre can deliver it!
