We are so excited to finally present our latest radio play that we have been working on since August. Normally the SmorgShow players re-enact classic radio dramas, but in this episode, we aim to deliver something a bit different. This time, we present to you a radio adaptation of “Rope”, a 1948 American psychological crime thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock, based on the 1929 play of the same name by Patrick Hamilton. <br />In our story, just before hosting a dinner party, Philip Morgan and Brandon Shaw strangle a mutual friend to death with a piece of rope, purely as a Nietzsche-inspired philosophical exercise. Hiding the body in a chest upon which they then arrange a buffet dinner, the pair welcome their guests, including the victim’s oblivious fiancée and the college professor whose lectures inadvertently inspired the killing. <br /> <p>The Cast (In Order of Appearance):</p> <p>Brandon Shaw – Thomas Larsen <br />Phillip Morgan – Geoff Wells <br />Mrs. Wilson – Chris Wells <br />Kenneth Lawrence – Kip Coon <br />Janet Walker – Ally Bockay <br />Mr. Henry Kentley – Jerome Malauskas <br />Mrs. Anita Atwater – Kim Bockay <br />Rupert Cadell – Chris Bockay <br />Man on Street – Baba Gonesh</p>
