My 18 year old got interested in Orson Welles back in the summer. While we were at the beach we all watched The Third Man together. Will thought Welles was terrific. A couple months later, he watched Citizen Kane and again was amazed by Welles.
At the same time he was really getting into G. K. Chesterton. Imagine his delight when he discovered that Welles back in the 1930's had done a radio show based on The Man Who Was Thursday!
Check out this website for more fantastic radio shows by Welles. Sean, the 11 yo, spent an hour yesterday listening to Welles' retelling of A Christmas Carol (The day before we watched Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol , another classic interpretation).
