Metabolic Studio's IOU THEATRE presented “WAR OF THE WORLDS” at the Double L Saloon in Lone Pine, CA on December 7, 2014 at 7:00 pm. The original live radio drama was written by Howard Koch, directed and narrated by Orson Welles in 1938, and inspired by the H.G. Wells story written in 1897. The 1938 CBS radio broadcast performed on Halloween caused a historic fracas across the nation. The “War of the Worlds” script was adapted by Jon Klusmire to be set in contemporary Owens Valley and Los Angeles.
