Obviously I know that we haven't had a crazy alien invasion and war between Mars, and I know that Welles' production was merely a production. However, when I was listening, I somehow missed any mentioning of it being a production. I listened in amazement at the best April Fools' joke ever (okay I know it's not for April Fools, but still). I imagined people listening in terror, on the edge of their seats, gnawing off their fingernails, and crying while holding those they love, just waiting to be next. I didn't hear them say that it was a production by Orson Welles and theatre company until almost the very end. Well, according to Anne, they said it in the beginning too, but it sure was sneaky how they slipped it in there! I definitely would have been one of those terrified, gullible 25%. Really, it's genius. Very well done, very convincing. Scary!
