The Mercury Theatre on the Air

Curated by ACT

Listen to many of the original Mercury Theatre of the Air broadcasts, with Orsen Welles, John Houseman, Agnes Moorehead and others. Also on the site you can find broadcasts of many of the programs from Campbell Playhouse, which is what Mercury Theatre became when Campbell Soup took over sponsorship. Each adaptation runs about one hour. Programs are available in RealAudio and MP3, but site owner recommends using BitTorrent.
