Episode 52 - Orson Welles Mercury Theatre Production of Bram Stoker’s DRACULA Redfield Arts Audio presents the Orson Welles’ Mercury Theatre on the Air production of Bram Stoker’s DRACULA. Broadcast on CBS in July of 1938, it was the first audio drama production from The Mercury Theatre, produced by John Houseman and Welles. Orson Welles plays Dr. Seward and voices Dracula, with Agnes Moorehead as Mina, George Coulouris as Jonathan, and Martin Gabel as Van Helsing. Many of the actors came along to radio from the Mercury Theatre stage, and would go on to films produced by Welles and The Mercury Theater, such as CITIZEN KANE (1941). Bram Stoker’s novel DRACULA was published in May of 1897, and has inspired countless adaptations in radio, theater, and film. Join host Mark Redfield as he introduces this historic audio drama.
