    It's been 80 years since Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast terrified the nation. https://abcn.ws/2Q6yHTJ pic.twitter.com/jE0a3Kb5wH

        "Martians have landed in New Jersey!" the broadcast began. Many who heard this became overwrought with worry that an invasion from Mars actually was underway in a small Northeastern town.https://abcn.ws/2Q2EsBH

        It didn't really terrify a nation. It's actually a myth. Only 2% of the American public was tuned into the broadcast. Do your homework ABC.

        You're welcome! I've directed the radio script twice, and audiences love it. They sit with their eyes closed and let their imagination pick up where the actors and sound-effects leave off.

        It was a small percentage of people that actually heard the broadcast. The nation didn't even know about it.

        And the book was set in a small English town, but I suppose not many in the States have heard of Woking in Surrey
