HITCH-HIKER, THE

by Fletcher, Lucille

An adaptation of the original radio play by Orson Welles, this ghost thriller tells the tale of Ronald Adams, an ordinary motorist who sets out to drive from Brooklyn to California, and encounters a strange hitch-hiker. His efforts to explain, then avoid, and finally destroy the constantly appearing figure along the highway culminates in a terrifying climax in New Mexico. The play hovers between reality and fantasy, as the mood of deepening horror engulfs the audience.
