About this listen
https://www.oldtimeretroradio.com
A powerful radio adaptation of Alexandre Dumas’s timeless novel, The Count of Monte Cristo aired as part of The Mercury Theatre on the Air, the groundbreaking series produced and directed by Orson Welles. This episode brings the epic tale of betrayal, imprisonment, and calculated revenge to life through dramatic narration and immersive performances that defined radio’s golden age.
The story follows Edmond Dantès, a young sailor falsely accused and unjustly imprisoned, who reemerges years later under a new identity to execute a meticulously planned reckoning against those who destroyed his life. Condensed for radio yet rich in atmosphere and emotion, this broadcast captures the moral complexity and dramatic intensity that made the novel a literary classic.
