The Misadventure of the Stalking Death
A murder/mystery- conspiracy theory-action/adventure-romantic comedy audio play for Christmas
Written by Vince Stadon

It is Christmas 1887, and as Her Majesty Queen Victoria celebrates her Jubilee Year, death stalks the streets of London.

When a world-famous client stumbles, dying, into the arms of Dr Watson, Mr Sherlock Holmes deduces that once again the game is afoot! The Great Detective and his faithful companion must solve an impossible murder; track down a London law firm which seems to have never existed; escape from the clutches of a deadly species of exotic animal; and avoid being repeatedly punched in the face by irate women.

Inspired by true historical events, The Stalking Death features a series of appalling terrorist attacks at the heart of the British Government, an audacious assassination, a conspiracy spanning two continents, and a thrillingly high-octane, edge-of-your-seat vehicle chase through a bustling major city which rivals the one in The French Connection--only in audio, and with horse-drawn carriages.

2 Sides 2 Every Story

A brand new series of audio comedy coming this fall from Dream Realm Enterprises!

Think you know the story? Think again!
Classic tales of literature, myth, history and legend as you’ve never heard them before... straight from the mouths of the characters themselves.

We’ve interviewed the key participants in the most famous and enduring stories of them all, and in five- to -ten minute monologues these legendary characters give wildly contradictory accounts of what really happened...

Think you know the characters? Think again!
Speaking candidly and definitively in an attempt to set the record straight, these famous characters finally reveal their true natures... shattering the popular images we’re all familiar with.

Count Dracula: suave and sexy icon of Gothic literature, or whiny, self-pitying recluse?

Little Red Riding Hood: sweet and humble granddaughter, or vacuous and bitchy party girl?

Achilles: legendary hero of the Trojan Wars, or a bit of a heel?

Whatever the story, whoever the character, you’ve never heard it told like this before.

There are two sides to every story. Who will you side with?

Episode One:

Professor Abraham Van Helsing & Count Dracula
Written by Vince Stadon
Based on the novel “Dracula” by Bram Stoker

At Whitby Mental Asylum, Van Helsing (Elie Hirschman) talks candidly--if not altogether lucidly--of his epic war against the armies of the undead and his pathological fear of bats; whilst in Transylvania, the reclusive Count Dracula (Paeter Frandsen) moans about the property market and the exploitation of his image.

***


Episode Two:

Faust & Mephistopheles
By Vince Stadon
Based on “Dr Faustus” by Christopher Marlowe, and “Faust” by Goethe

Ruthless Wall Street trader Faust (Jeff Niles) reveals how his bargain with the Devil was merely a case of astute Insider Dealing and sound fiscal policy; Mephistopheles (Cookie Colletti) takes us on a guided tour of Hell and tells us about her love of Soul Music.

***


Episode Three:

Little Red Riding Hood & The Big Bad Wolf
By Vince Stadon
Based on the traditional fairy tale popularised by Hans Christian Andersen

Poolside at her L.A. mansion, not-so little Red Riding Hood (Kae Woo) gossips about fashion, make-up, cute boys, and a certain wolf; serving time in a Correctional Facility, the cool and wily Big Bad Wolf (Jonithan Patrick Russell) chews over the art of the Long Con, and repents his career as a professional con artist.
