"The Devil of Denge Marsh" Radio Production
Saturday, December 29, 2007
This Lovecraftian production by Cosmic Hobo Productions was recently broadcast on the BBC's BBC7 radio waves. "The Scarifyers: The Devil of Denge Marsh" is a charming play that hearkens back to the earlier days of frightful radio, including the handful of Lovecraftian productions that have aired. It also mixes in elements of traditional radio mysteries and detective stories. From the website's description:
A melting minister, a scientific project gripped by madness, a remote village on the Kent coast where the locals have some strange habits indeed. It's all just the ticket for top-secret government department, MI-13.
Lionheart (Nocholas Courtney) and Dunning (Terry Molloy) are back, to do battle with the Women's Institute, an old adversary and an inter-dimensional being from the dawn of time - THE DEVIL OF DENGE MARSH.
The radio show's website contains the full production for purchase on CD, as well as two downloadable MP3 trailers and the thematic "Denge Marsh Lament."
