      <title>L.A. Theatre Works: War of the Worlds. May 3, 2008, Part 1</title>
      <description><![CDATA["War of the Worlds" By H.G. Wells, adapted by Howard Koch, starring Leonard Nimoy, Brent Spiner, Gates McFadden, Wil Wheaton, Meagan Fay, Jerry Hardin, Dwight Schultz, Armin Shimerman, Tom Virtue, and John de Lancie. Join actors from Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation as they recreate this classic radio thriller.

Originally performed by Orson Welles and his Mercury Theatre of the Air, WAR OF THE WORLDS is truly the mother of all space invasions, offering a rare combination of chills, thrills and great literature. Includes an interview with Dr. David Stevenson, professor of Planetary Science at CalTech.]]></description>
