"The Most Dangerous Game"
By Richard Connell
Adapted and directed by Gary Lamb
With Gary Lamb, Bill Mendieta, Saige Spinney, and Matthew Williamson
A big-game hunter from New York City falls off a yacht and swims to what seems to be an abandoned and isolated island in the Caribbean, where he is hunted by a Russian aristocrat. This short story from 1924 was inspired by the big-game hunting safaris in Africa and South America that were particularly fashionable among wealthy Americans in the 1920s. "The Most Dangerous Game" is much more than a hunting story -- the suspense keeps building until the very end.
SMP's Off the Shelf: Short Stories Out Loud Series presents a full-cast, audio-only short story offering via real-time premiere every 4th Sunday of the month. New release every month!

Wonderful production! Loved the Puccini! Maria Callas’, “Un Bel Di” so enhanced suspenseful transitions. Bravi!

I have _loads_ of questions and requests for clarification . Buckle up... 1. Rainsford suggests Ship-Trap Island has cannibaIs. Whitney says hardly. Even they wouldn't live in the place. I don't understand his answer. 2. Rainsford barely/briefly choked and was immediately able to swim with his lungs suddenly fine?? "The cry was pinched off short as the blood-warm waters of the Caribbean Sea dosed over his head. He struggled up to the surface and tried to cry out, but the wash from the speeding yacht slapped him in the face and the salt water in his open mouth made him gag and strangle. Desperately he struck out with strong strokes after the receding lights of the yacht, but he stopped before he had swum fifty feet. A certain coolheadedness had come to him; it was not the first time he had been in a tight place." 3. Is the narrator talking about Rainsford on cliffs the whole time? If so, then wouldn't Rainsford be too high to be "Along the shore"? Here's the full reference: "An unbroken front of snarled and ragged jungle fringed the shore. He saw no sign of a trail through the closely knit web of weeds and trees; it was easier to go along the shore, and Rainsford floundered along by the water. Not far from where he landed, he stopped." and "the print of hunting boots. They pointed along the cliff in the direction he had been going. Eagerly he hurried along, now slipping on a rotten log or a loose stone, but making headway;" 4. Zaroff has a "spare dark face" and the narrator calls it brown later. What is Zaroff's race? He belittled black, white, and mixed-raced people; is he a hypocrite here? 5. If Zaroff bought the island and orders imported champagne, do his clients know about the island's reputation? Wouldn't they report the man suspiciously on the suspicious island. 6. "I went into the army--it was expected of noblemen's sons--and for a time commanded a division of Cossack cavalry, but my real interest was always the hunt." But what does hunting big-game have to do with the army? 7. Zaroff said the "giant rocks with razor edges crouch like a sea monster with wide-open jaws." Doesn't "crouch" imply the rocky shore "moves" to crush the ships? And besides, wouldn't the sailors see the big rocky shore as the ship approaches? 8. I don't understand what Zaroff is saying. ""I don't wish you to think me a braggart, Mr. Rainsford. Many of them afford only the most elementary sort of problem. Occasionally I strike a tartar." 9. Is the dog courtyard directly outside Zaroff's chateau? There's a view of it from the dining room, Rainsford's room, and Zaroff's room. Narrator didn't say Rainsford saw the place from outside the building. 10. How far do you guys think the mainland/town Zaroff mentioned is from his island? He said Rainsford would take a sloop (and agree to keep the island visit a secret).
