About this listen

 In a dystopian society where poets, artists, and other members of the creative community have been declared obsolete, a young poet faces a trial for his life. "2462" is a thought provoking story that makes a statement about the value of artistic expression. Examined in light of our First Amendment guaranteeing our right to free speech, "2462" asks the question, what happens when an authoritarian government decides that artistic expression in any form is considered bad for society. Written by George Bamber, it first aired on the Suspense radio program in 1962 and is one of the 945 episodes that aired during its 20 year history. This Naples Players Radio Theatre production features the vocal talents of Jesse Hughes, Kip Jones, David Whalley, and Michael Troop . This audio file was recorded, mixed and mastered by Michael Troop. All music and sound effects were obtained through a special license from pond5.com and may not be copied or reproduced for any reason.
