L. Ron Hubbard’s “The Death Flyer” Thrills Crowd in Clearwater

Clearwater, FL (I-Newswire) November 7, 2011 - CLEARWATER: On Saturday, the 29th of October, 120 guests attended the Golden Age Theater of Tampa Bay’s production of “The Death Flyer.” Originally written by bestselling author L. Ron Hubbard in 1936, the story was published in Fantasy Magazine that year. The event was produced in the Crystal Ballroom of the Fort Harrison in Clearwater.

After feasting on a buffet dinner created by the Fort Harrison’s Gold-Medal Winning chefs, guests – many of whom wore costumes – watched the Golden Age Theater of Tampa perform this gripping ghost story.

Starring Trevor Botkin and narrated by Kathy Sweigart, this is a tale about Jim Bellamy, walking back late one night from a job site. Using the tracks of an abandoned railroad, he is nearly struck down by a train that supposedly crashed more than a decade ago. Encountering the undead and a mysterious young woman (played by Joanie Sigal), Jim is faced with changing history and stopping the wreck of the train.

What happens next was cleverly acted by Botkin and Sigal, who were also joined by Colin Taufer, Dylan Cefail, Melissa Ryan, Mauricio Olivares and Shaun and Brent Byrnes. The performance was done in the style of an old-time radio show, with sound effects and music.

“I am very excited to be introducing people to this form of entertainment through Mr. Hubbard’s fiction works – he’s the master,” said Sigal, who produces the shows and manages the troop of actors who make up the Golden Age Theater.

“The Death Flyer” is just one of the Stories from a Golden Age. In total, there are 153 stories all written by Hubbard during the 1930s and 1940s—in genres ranging from Mystery to Thriller, Science Fiction and Fantasy to Adventure and Western, using his own and fifteen pen names—widely considered America’s Golden Age of Fiction. The print version of each work includes the pulp fiction artwork that originally accompanied the story in magazine publication. In addition, each title offers a full-cast, unabridged audio theatrical presentation complete with theme music and sound effects.
