Two Of Us Productions’ Double Feature Classic Radio Drama Thrillers, Jun 20

The Two Of Us Productions presents two Classic Radio Drama Thrillers – “The Hitchhiker” and “Mr. Markham, Antique Dealer” – on Saturday, June 20th.

In MR. MARKHAM, ANTIQUE DEALER a blackmailer, a murderer, and a room full of clocks, one of which talks! Who is actually murdered, and who is the murder?

In THE HITCHHIKER a man drives cross-country from Brooklyn to California. On the way, he sees a man on the Brooklyn Bridge, waiting for a lift. Adams sees the man again an hour later, hitchhiking at the Pulaski Skyway. As he progresses towards his destination Adams repeatedly sees the same hitch-hiker, despite the fact that, logically, there is no possible way the mysterious man could always somehow get ahead of him!

Performances to be performed on-line via Zoom (details below).

DATE/TIME: Saturday, June 20, 2020 / 7pm

LOCATION: Hosted on ZOOM.

ADMISSION: Free. Donations appreciated.

The event will last about an hour, and will conclude with a brief reading of poetry by our special guest poet.
