À propos de cet audio
When H. G. Wells first published The War of The Worlds in 1898, the novel quickly became a sci-fi classic. The story of extraterrestrials from Mars invading Earth captured the public’s imagination, inspiring a famed 1938 radio broadcast with Orson Welles, several feature films, countless video games, and a best-selling musical concept album by Jeff Wayne in 1978, among others.
Immersing listeners in a world that is as thrilling as it is desolate, Jeff Wayne’s eerie and pulsating score brings the suspense, drama, and urgency of Wells’s original novel to a fever pitch in this Audible Original Drama. Michael Sheen headlines an ensemble cast of talented performers that also includes Taron Egerton, Adrian Edmondson, Theo James, and Anna-Marie Wayne.

"The science-fiction classic undergoes a fantastic modernization, thanks to Jeff Wayne's energetic score and a cast of talented narrators. Michael Sheen capably steps into the character of the unnamed journalist and imbues his narration with steady calm as he recounts the Martian invasion of England. A varied cast coupled with subtle sound effects keeps the drama feeling fresh and dynamic. The musical score complements the story by punctuating the arrival of the Martians and other thrilling moments but also highlights the story's isolating atmosphere. Score and narration combine with high production values, resulting in a unique audio drama that enhances the original story." (AudioFile Magazine)

If you are new to Jeff Wayn'es work this drama is a fairly faithful version of the plot of the original book by HG Wells, except some of the adventures of George's brother in this adaptation happen to the wife (easier to follow the drama with less characters.
The actors are excellent, but Michael Sheen is standout amazing.
Marvellous! Drama Adaptation of the 1978 Musical

No songs!

The music added excitement throughout but there is no actual singing that takes place. Seeing Taron Egerton I had hope to hear his beautiful singing, but no. Most of the music is at the end of the chapters.
Story wise it an interesting take on human psyche and social structure. Showing the will of survival, the delusions of security, and the what if we were treated as animals. It’s a well written story, and the length was just right.

Instead, it's a dramatic retelling of H. G. Wells's story, including elements from the musical.
One change, which I feel is an improvement: The narrator's wife is given a voice and a name. Carrie, unnamed in the original novel, replaces the protagonist's brother in narrating events in London and the English Channel.
I've just finished reading the Classic Comic book adaptation, and will now listen to the original novel. I hope I won't be too bored by the repetition.
Gives Space Opera a new meaning.
