Acerca de esta escucha

The CBS Radio Workshop was an experimental series of productions, subtitled "radio's distinguished series to man's imagination" that ran between 27 January 1956 and 22 September 1957. The premiere production was Brave New World, narrated by Huxley himself, with a complicated sound-effects score that evidently took a long time to construct, and comprised a ticking metronome, tom-tom beats, bubbling water, an air hose, a cow's moo, an oscillator, and three kinds of wine glasses clicking together. There was also a cast of some ten actors.

What was most evident about this two-part adaptation, now available on podcast, was the vocal contrasts: between Huxley the narrator, telling the story in a cut-glass marked RP accent interspersed with occasional Americanisms ("diaper" instead of "nappy," for instance); the Controller, who spoke throughout in jovial tones, appropriate for the Brave New World of perpetual happiness; and the Savage, the representative of feeling, emotional humanity - now consigned to a reserve in darkest Mexico - whose tones became increasingly desperate as he understood how mechanized the universe had become.

The Brave New World was a topsy-turvy environment, which despised institutions such as marriage and parenthood (any mention of such terms was greeted with scornful laughter), and advocated free love without passion. Everyone belonged to everyone else, and no one needed to think any more. Despite the Director's jovial protestations that this was the best of all possible worlds (shades of Voltaire's Candide), the doom-laden consequences of what had happened were suggested by Bernard Herrman's specially composed score, full of doom-laden chords, and metronome-like chimes played on the tubular bells. The adaptation was announced by the actor William Conrad - who subsequently found fame on television as the corpulent detective Cannon: at the end of the first episode he informed listeners in no uncertain terms about the moral purpose of Froug's adaptation. It was intended as a "warning against the destruction of moral standards, family life and the soul of man."

Enjoy listening!

It's like a New World Order, the loss of true love and honesty only the game kind. This book came just before WW2. Never mind good parenting but good raising like The Matrix. In this world, don't feel real but feel how you're trans to feel

This was much better than I expected for a one hour "radio" show. It was worth the time but for a true taste of the story you must read or listen to the unabridged version.

Well worth the hour to listen to this dramatized classic. Abridged but you get meaning. Interesting perspective as it was written in 1931.

Finally understood references to this classic

great introduction

this is one of my favorite novels and while the performance was 1at rate I found the lack of detail distressing. it's possible I'm being too hard on them but they left out much of Mustafa mond's character development, which I think would have made it much better

it's a hard story to dramatize

There is a lot of background distorted sound, as hearing other books being duplicated nearby.
Too bad since the story and narration are great.

noise

Some acclaimed works loose their edginess over time to be worthy of HS summer reading
