How it Happened - An Arthur Conan Doyle Audio Drama.

1/6/2022

1 Comment

 
Today we have a little audio drama adaption of a short supernatural story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle entitled "How It Happened". The tale was originally published during the First World War, at the end of what may be considered to be the Edwardian era.  The tale did, once upon a time, did exist as a silent film, but has since been lost to the sands of time, so I hope you enjoy my attempt to give it some life again outside the pages of a book.

The central theme in this story is loyalty, companionship, and, of course, the afterlife.

Featuring Ross K. Foad, Jason Williamson, J.D. Kelly, Lance Bulmer, and Justin A, Aaron Nashar, and Logan Chipman.
