Our Flash Gordon continues where One Act Players left off. We recorded this in January 2003, as part of our recreation series.

Tim Wardell is Flash, Kara Metzger plays Dale and Princess Aura (our original Dale was sick), Bill Flynn plays Dr. Zarkov and Ming. Gary Layton, Louanne Chapman, Ken Raney and Rich Baker provide additional voices. We added our own twist to this recreation, and dramatized a few things that were only hinted at in the narration. As a result, our version is roughly twice as long as the original script.

Enjoy.
