About two years ago, I began working on the most ambitious audio drama I've worked on to date. Jules Verne has always been one of my favorite authors; his stories are full of adventure, excitement, fantastic ideas, and his people usually have strong character.
I adapted one of his final novels called "Master of the World" into 6 episodes (for a total length of about 1 hour and 30 minutes). I recruited quite a few brand new actors for this production; some of them are people who have won awards for their audio work, and many who had been in multiple audio dramas from other producers before me.
Well, today, I have released the first episode of Jules Verne's Master of the World on Dramafy. There will be a new episode each week until it's finished. I would be honoured if any of you would take the time to listen; it sounds very different from what I usually produce.
To listen, simply go to this link; it will bring you to our website which will have a Dramafy banner that you need to click on to listen: https://audioadventuretheatre.blogspot.com/2024/11/episode-107-master-of-world-part-one.html
I believe Dramafy requires you to make an account to listen, but it is totally free. They are trying to be the Netflix of Family Friendly Audio Drama, so there may well be other things you are interested in on the platform (if you have never heard of them before).
The wonderful people who helped act in this audio drama are as follows:
CAST:
Chief Inspector John Strock …. Jay Silver
Mr. Ward …. Marc Cashman
Mayor Elias Smith …. Frank Guglielmelli
Harry Horn …. Landon Soelberg
James Bruck …. Caleb Thiessen
Strock’s servant …. Bethany Baldwin
Arthur Wells …. Jerry Fischer
Master of the World …. Brady Smith
Nab Walker …. Nicholas Alkolbi
John Hart …. Josiah Coates
Man …. Dominic Treis
John Turner …. Jober Linden
Announcer …. Alex Lagase
SUMMARY: Something mysterious is going on in the mountains of Carolina. Strange tremors, lights, and sounds have been disturbing the local residents. Is it simply an emerging volcano, or something supernatural? Chief Inspector John Strock is sent by his superiors to uncover the dark secret behind these events. But he has no idea what he will discover on this extraordinary journey!
Based on one of Jules Verne's final novels, this story provides all the adventure, excitement, and mystery that the Father of Science Fiction is known for!
