THE LOST WORLD

This full-cast performance features a crazed, secretive professor, a big-game hunter, a journalist with something to prove, and a femme fatale. Who else would you send to the darkest reaches of South America to prove once and for all that dinosaurs still exist? In this happy homage and laugh-out-loud send-up of classic 1930s radio adventure series, the audio details are wonderful. Ship horns, rain-soaked London streets, lush jungle sounds, chilling brontosaurus calls, and perfect music all create vivid pictures for the listener's imagination, while the entire cast provides fine comic accents and timing. Arthur Conan Doyle's classic 1912 tale has entertained for generations, and this charming audio version is just right for the entire family (especially for those partial to pterodactyls and iguanodons.)
