Episode #355: 10 More Great Adventure Stories: Hell On Ice


Listen Later

Today we’re featuring a 1938 Mercury Theatre on the Air adaptation of Commander Edward Ellsberg's “Hell on Ice.” The play, a dramatic retelling of the disastrous 1879-1881 Jeannette Arctic expedition, recounts the realistic experiences of the crew, including their entrapment in ice, dwindling supplies, and eventual fate. This is a great example of Orson Welles's early work as a director and features a cast of notable Mercury actors.
