A new twist on the vintage radio shows of yesteryear, Larry Fessenden and Glenn McQuaids Tales from Beyond the Pale has already thrilled fans of the macabre with it’s first season of creepy dramas released last year. Now they are upping the ante and recording 8 original audio shows before a live audience.
Journey beyond the pale the first four Tuesdays in October as Fessenden and Co. present a double-bill of original genre stories performed by an exciting cast of special guests, and featuring live music, live foley, and live sound effects by a team of audio artisans. A feast for eyes and ears.
Each performance will be recorded and made available online to fans who cant attend the live events. Plans to produce new studio-based Tales are also underway; the live and studio recordings will be collected and made available as Season 2 of Tales from Beyond the Pale. Season 1 is already available at Amazon, Audible, and iTunes and features such genre luminaries as Ron Perlman, Angus Scrimm, Vincent D’Onofrio and Michael Cerveris. Season 2 promises to keep up the tradition of esteemed voice talent; but who will show up to perform, for now, remains a closely guarded secret.
Fessenden says Glenn and I wanted to find a way to take the classic radio play and give it new life and celebrate the power of sound design in storytelling. We also found if we cut out cameras and lights, we can tell stories a lot cheaper and keep working with our community of collaborators.
From McQuaid – As was the case with Season One, weve got some pretty amazing talent on board for our live shows. The new collection of Tales is even more eclectic and pulpy then Season One, fans of the macabre are in for a treat.
THE DATES ARE: 10/2, 10/9, 10/16, and 10/23. 9:30PM
THE PLACE IS: Dixon Place,161A Chrystie Street New York, NY 10002
