Rebecca and The Birds

Show Description:

It’s a double dose of Alfred Hitchcock - and author Daphne Du Maurier! Radio on the Lake Theatre celebrates the golden age of radio drama and takes a look into the future with these two plays. The first half of the evening is devoted to the Lux Radio Theatre adaptation of Rebecca. A shy young woman marries a dashing, but mysterious older man obsessed by the memory of his glamorous first wife. We then present ROTLT’s original adaptation of The Birds. This “audio deconstruction” strips the play down to the bare essentials of actors and sound in a production first presented as part of Cleveland Public Theatre’s Soft Launch program in January 2025.
