Production
The CD was released October 1, 2008. Its running time is 77 minutes and 33 seconds long. In this dramatization, the original Lovecraft story is slightly edited, both for time and the format; for example, the scene where Peaslee's family are frightened by his amnesiac personality are 'shown,' not merely referred to.
Troy Sterling Nies provided an original score, as with the other H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society productions. The cast features an ensemble of fifteen professional Los Angeles actors.
The CD includes a number of props from the story, including: a page from the British Medical Journal describing Peaslee's dreams (includes a sketch of the dream city), a shore-to-ship Marconi-Gram informing Peaslee of the expedition's discoveries, a page from the Arkham Advertiser describing Peaslee's collapse, and a page from Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten, in German.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“Constant revolutionizing of production ... distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“The repossession by women of our bodies will bring far more essential change to human society than the seizing of the means of production by workers.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
