Nearly 10 years before Hitchcock brought this thriller to the silver screen, the radio anthology series, “Escape,” adapted Daphne du Maurier’s short story, “The Birds.” This adaptation is closer to the original story (Hitchcock took the concept and completely reworked it). Set in the rural seaside of Southern England, Deborah Hawkins and her two young children, along with hired governess, Madison, (okay, we reworked it, too) try to adapt to life away from London’s high society. Deborah’s husband makes few visits anymore, pushing Deborah into a fragile mental state. Oh, yeah, then outta no where, birds start attacking. Narrated by our favorite voice of horror, Edward October, join us for this chilling thriller classic!
