Mercury Summer Theater
The Search for Henri Lefevre
von
Mercury Summer Theater brings the Mercury Theatre’s dramatic storytelling to radio, with a repertory company performing a different story each week. The series is associated with Orson Welles and the ensemble of actors who helped shape the Mercury Theatre’s stage and broadcast productions.
Each program presents a self-contained drama, using dialogue, narration, music, and sound effects to create its setting and move the story forward. The repertory format gives the performers room to take on varied roles, while the radio medium makes atmosphere and action vivid through voice and sound.
The result is theatrical and carefully staged, with the immediacy of a live radio performance. Listeners can settle into a complete dramatic story, carried by a strong ensemble and the Mercury company’s distinctive sense of presentation.
