The Renegotiation

PMRP Presents’ next studio project is “The Renegotiation” written by Kevin Kordis and directed by Laura Corliss.

The Renegotiation is the story of a blacksmith who makes a deal with… let’s just say someone who doesn’t have their best interest in mind. The fate of the blacksmith and their village is changed, but when it comes time to uphold their end of the bargain the blacksmith seeks a new deal.

The Renegotiation will be recorded in the studio and released as an audio file (with a free MP3 download, or you can support us by buying a high-quality version). We’ll update this page when the audio file is available.

PMRP Presents “The Arrest of Arsène Lupin”

Jay — Sun, 10 Jul 2016 23:51:18 +0000

“The Arrest of Arsène Lupin” is a new radio adaptation from PMRP’s Michael Lin of the first-ever-published Maurice Leblanc short story featuring Arsène Lupin, gentleman-burglar. The French steamship La Provence has received a telegram reporting that the notorious Arsène Lupin is onboard! Each passenger is eyeing their neighbor, wondering if they might be Lupin in disguise. Of them all, perhaps only Miss Nelly Underdown, keen-minded heiress, has a chance of ferreting him out — but what will happen as the clash of wits escalates? Thievery, misdirection, and a hint of romance are all in the mix!

This studio recording is a follow-up to Spring 2015’s “The Mysterious Traveler," which you can listen to here!

“...AND THE WORLD GROWS A LITTLE DARKER”

In the early 1950s, Leonard Allen was the producer and host of After Dark, a very popular, independently-produced suspense-horror radio show. His on-air persona, Dr. Damien Crask, was practically a household name. But when his best friend and business partner, Robert Stroud, stole the scripts and decamped for Hollywood to produce his own show, After Dark lost its biggest sponsor and Allen, feeling betrayed, gave up. After Dark died, unfinished.

Fifty years later, Allen is dying in a state-run nursing home, when he approached by the mysterious David Lewis, a smooth-talking businessman who gives him a strange offer: the role of caretaker and tour guide for an historic lighthouse off the New England coast. Allen is unable to resist the lure of a mystery and, when invigorated by a sudden and unexplained improvement in his health, he accepts the job.

But for Allen, settling into his new home, overlooking the stormy sea below, it all seems too perfect. Just who are the people of Sea Robin Island and why do so many of them seem familiar? Why go through so much effort to get one, very specific, old man for such a mundane job? Why does a very useful, technically-minded teenage girl show up on his doorstep just before he discovers a disused radio transmission facility behind a door locked from the inside? And why is it so important for Dr. Damien Crask to return to the airwaves long after America has left the Golden Age of Radio behind?

Leonard Allen is determined to get answers, but shortly after he discovers the bizarre truth, he learns that the plan is destined to go horribly, horribly wrong. Sea Robin Island will become a wasteland and hundreds of thousands of American soldiers in Iraq will face demons far greater than any mortal enemy if something isn't done. But how can one old man and one rebellious teenage girl prevent the wrath of a vengeful goddess?
