FinalRune is proud to announce that the first piece produced in collaboration with the Mad Horse Theater, "The Most Dangerous Game," is available for release.

The Most Dangerous Game," originally written by Richard Connell, was adapted anew by FinalRune Producer Fred Greenhalgh, with some inspiration by the original "Escape" script. It tells the story of wealthy big-game hunter Sanger Rainsford, who falls off his boat in the middle of the Caribbean and finds himself on a curious island. He finds the mansion of General Zaroff, a Cossack who has a taste for the hunt, and will go to any extreme to keep himself entertained...

The show airs first on WMPG on Fred's show, Radio Drama Revival, 1-1:30PM on Thursday, September 24, and will be available on Friday, September 25 on Radio Drama Revival's podcast (http://www.radiodramarevival.com) and FinalRune's website (http://www.finalrune.com/)

Two more stories will be released in October: "Sorry, Wrong Number," the suspenseful tale of a woman who overhears two men plotting a murder, and "Three Skeleton Key," a classic tale of terror of three lighthouse keepers trapped in their tower by a mass of hungry rats.

In keeping with FinalRune's field recording style, all of the productions were recorded on location or in locations similar to the sonic environment of the scene, for example, Three Skeleton Key was recorded Goat Island Light, a charming lighthouse just off the coast of Cape Porpoise, Maine, and indoor scenes were recorded at Mad Horse's new space at the Hutchins School.

FinalRune has a lot of people to thank on this one. First, to all of the Mad Horse people for being so open to working in a new medium and bringing such patience and talent to this production. Next, to sound recordist Randy Farr, without whom recording these would have been damn near impossible. To Philip Hobby, who jumped in last minute to do a spectacular job in "Three Skeleton Key." And finally to Goat Island Light's keepers, Scott and Karen, who welcomed us to their beautiful island.
