PROJECT AUDION – THE NEW ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES: “Murder in the Casbah”

Premiered Aug 6, 2021

Sherlock Holmes is such an iconic figure, and so well-suited for radio, that the detective was on the air for over 20 years (starting in 1930) and portrayed by a half dozen actors. None, however, were better than Nigel Bruce and Basil Rathbone, who owned the roles from 1939-1946. Project Audion recreates an episode from December 3, 1945 entitled “Murder in the Casbah” which was sponsored by Petri Wine. Audion’s transcribed-live edition features a cast of voice actors performing from England, Hollywood, and multiple locations in between.
