CIRCUS-13 PRESENTS SPIDER-MAN in KRAVEN'S LAST HUNT parts 4 and 6, written by J. M. DeMatteis, adapted for radio by Timm Gillick in six parts.
Sergei Kravinov (aka Kraven the Hunter) has been a long-time foe of Spider-man, and eventually becomes obsessed with beating him. But not just beating him, completely overpowering him to prove that he is the better of the two. His plan is to get Spider-man out of the way and show that he can do better. A very dark tale of the web-slinger, it had a very unique style that I think adapts itself well to a moody, stylized radio play.

Okay, all the roles are only a couple lines each, so I'll take the best auditions and use them in the actual production. This means that your sound quality is a DEFINITE FACTOR. Since there are only a couple roles in episodes 4 and 6 (and none needed for 5), I'm combining the last two in one.
