Been working on this for about a month and a half now, I am working with 15 wonderful voice actors and volunteers, as well as two musicians and an artist who are all helping me bring this project to life.
It's a long road ahead yet, but I am so appreciative of Obsidian Codex Press for allowing me to do this, and I am so excited to show you all the final results.
Hey folks, a few months ago I made a post on here looking for people to help me produce an audio drama version of Obsidian Codex Presses new play that they produced with their semi-recent kickstarter.
That plan is going well and I have a lovely cast of about 11 people helping me with this project now which is incredibly, however I am still looking for a few more voices.
So if that is something that interests you, even just for a line or two, check out my post below, or feel free to drop me a direct message about the project.

Hey folks!
The wonderful people over at Obsidian Codex Press has very kindly given me permission to create a fan-work adaptation of their new play The King in Yellow: A Tragedy in Two Acts.
(This is going to be a free to access and non-commercial project, so the budget for this is some lint and a piece of strong.)
This is going to be a substantial project, and is going to take at least a couple of months, but right now I am seeking interest from people who;
a) have a decent microphone and might be interested in loaning me their voice for one of the characters.
b) any of the lovely musicians in this community who have created music based on the King in Yellow stories, and might be willing to give me permission to include some of it in this production.
With the amount of work that Obsidian Codex Press were putting into this entire project, I went in expecting a certain standard and by god did they deliver.
I would have been more than happy if this was just a well written, slightly eerie, play script. But I truly was not prepared for just how impressed I was going to be with this book.
Act 1 which takes up the first 30 pages or so, is beautifully written, sets a perfect tone and sucks you into this mysterious world.
But as with its fictional counter-part, it is with Act 2 that this play truly reveals itself, and i became so very excited to see where it was going. It felt like the perfect way to adapt the eldritch, madness enduing properties of the 'original.'
My only regret now is that only a few hundred people will really be able to have the same experience that i did reading this play. Though my mind is already racing with ideas of readings, or even a full cast audio performance of this would be incredible.
I don't know how feasible that is, and I would never want to stand on OCPs toes, but it truly would be such a crying shame for this incredible work to go unenjoyed by people who were not able to join the Kickstarter, or kick up the few remaining copies when this goes to retail.
I cannot wait to dive into the play script and see what they have done with it, but every part of this is absolutely beautiful and I am so glad i was able to back it. This along with Kennith Heights Annotated KIY seems like the absolute must haves for big fans of these stories.
