Описание: Dive into the classic science fiction world of Samuel R. Delany's 'The Star Pit,' a full-cast radio drama first broadcast on November 26, 1967. This captivating audio play, based on the story originally published in the February 1967 issue of Worlds of Tomorrow magazine by Galaxy Publishing Corporation, transports listeners to a future where intergalactic travel is possible only for a select few known as 'Golden' – individuals whose unique psychological makeup allows them to withstand the reality-shattering void beyond the galaxy's rim.

Directed by Daniel Landau, 'The Star Pit' features a talented cast including Randa Haynes, Walter Harris, Jerry Matts, Joan Tanner, and Phoebe Ray, with narration by the author himself. The evocative music, composed and performed by Susan Schweres, perfectly complements the story's exploration of profound themes such as entrapment, freedom, human connection, identity, and the struggle for personal growth in an expansive, often indifferent, universe. Technical direction by Ed Wittered and David Rappkin, with production assistant Neil Conan, brings this vintage sci-fi masterpiece to life.

Experience a thought-provoking journey through space and the human psyche, as the protagonist, Vime, navigates the complexities of love, loss, ambition, and the harsh realities of the 'Star Pit' – a dangerous hub at the edge of the galaxy where the 'Golden' embark on their perilous voyages. This production from Old Time Radio is a must-listen for fans of classic science fiction, intricate storytelling, and immersive audio experiences.
