Operator

Operator is a gripping audio drama that provides a unique perspective on the classic tale of "The War of the Worlds" as performed by Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater back in 1938.

The story focuses on the experiences of Fay Rogers, a young woman embarking on her first night as a telephone operator. As the drama unfolds, listeners are transported to a world on the brink of chaos. Unbeknownst to Fay, an alien invasion is imminent, and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. Throughout her first shift, Fay along with three other operators become an unwitting witness to the unfolding disaster, as calls flood in with reports of strange occurrences and unexplained phenomena.

Inexperienced and initially overwhelmed, Fay quickly learns to navigate the switchboard, connecting callers with emergency services, loved ones and vital information. As the invasion intensifies, fear and panic grip the city, but Fay and the others remain steadfast and resourceful, determined to do their part in helping the community survive that night.
