Original director of the Workshop was Irving Reis, a swarthy, jittery onetime control-room engineer who thought the production, not the play, was the thing, and who sweated with oscillators, electrical filters, echo chambers to produce some of the most exciting sounds ever put on the air-Gulliver's voice, the witches in Macbeth, footsteps of gods, the sound of fog, a nuts-driving dissonance of bells, the feeling of going under ether.
