Tide Nor Time Players present a live radio play performance of The King in Yellow, adapted and directed by Simon Bucher-Jones.
This richly atmospheric production draws upon **Robert W. Chambers’** haunting and enigmatic play, transforming it into an immersive theatrical experience that unfolds entirely through voice, sound, and imagination. Blurring the line between stage and mind! The performance invites audiences to step into a world where reality feels fragile and something ancient and unsettling presses just beyond the veil.
The production captures the creeping dread and psychological unease at the heart of The King In Yellow. The infamous forbidden play, once whispered about in fragments now brought to life by Simon Bucher-Jones' original adaptation.
Performed in the style of a classic live radio broadcast, the piece celebrates the power of storytelling in its purest form. Actors, sound effects, and music combine in real time to conjure vivid imagery without the need for elaborate sets, allowing each listener’s imagination to complete the picture in uniquely personal ways. This approach not only honours the traditions of early audio drama but also amplifies the unsettling ambiguity that defines The King in Yellow.
