I purchased a broadcast of "A & OL" a couple of months ago from a fellow who sells radio show CD's online....I'm not giving his name because he told me in they're kind of a pain to produce, so I'll leave it up to him as to whether he wants to advertise them or not.
I bought it because it was a chance to hear Boris Karloff in the role of Jonathan Brewster, which of course he didn't perform in the film. A young Eddie Albert played Mortimer, and he was terrific...managing to get big laughs with his line readings. The chap who plays Dr. Einstein was quite funny, too.
The play was compressed to a half hour format, and interesting how details are either dropped or condensed for the sake of time.
Also on the same disc is a radio version of "Angel Street" better known as "Gaslight".
I highly recommend this disc, the packaging is cool and the sound quality is good.
