The Mercury Theatre was an independent repertory company founded
in New York City in 1937 by Orson Welles and producer John
Houseman, who is best known for his Oscar-winning performance as
Professor Charles Kingsfield in the "The Paper Chase." After a
series of acclaimed stage productions, Welles and his Mercury
Theatre were offered their own weekly hour-long radio program over
the CBS radio network. Here Welles along with Agnes Moorehead, Ray
Collins, Joseph Cotten, Alice Frost, Martin Gabel, and others
presented powerful adaptations of literary classics with Bernard
Herrman as composer and conductor.
Considered by many critics as the finest dramatic hour on radio,
"The Mercury Theatre on the Air" was without a sponsor until a
single broadcast changed all that: "The War of the Worlds.""
This study considers Angela Carter's work in media, a critically
neglected body of work comprising five radio plays, two film
adaptions and a television documentary, as well as two unrealized
screenplays, an operatic libretto and a stage play. Charlotte
Crofts undertakes detailed textual analysis of unpublished work,
including the poem Unicorn (1966) and The Holy Family Album (1991).
She refers extensively to exclusive interviews with directors and
producers with whom Carter collaborated. Included are the first
publication of photographs from the set of The Magic Toyshop
(1986), and excerpts from the script and storyboard of The Holy
Family Album.
Written for broadcast on Minnesota Public Radio's "Good Evening",
these memorable observations and reflections by the host of
National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" are now published
in a beautiful gift book.
