"Dracula's Wives" (1992) by Helen Thorington, with performances by Pamela Z, Agnieszka Waligorska, and Deidre Murray is an otherworldly geography peopled by the disembodied voices of the undead; a radio film, at times operatic in its approach, about women vampires, their bond with the vampire of all vampires, and their unending lust for that "juice of the rarest quality"—the blood of the living. With the vampire voices of Pamela Z and Agnieszka Waligorska, and the cello of Deidre Murray. Produced for RNE, Spain.

In its ten years as a weekly national series, 1987-1998, New American Radio (NAR) commissioned and distributed over 300 original works: conceptual new drama, associational documentary, language explorations, sonic meditations, environmental compositions, musical explorations and works that pioneer new dimensions in acoustic space. Wave Farm is thrilled to be partnering with New American Radio to ensure these works remain available to listeners today and into the future.

New American Radio was organized by Helen Thorington, Executive Producer and Regine Beyer, Associate Producer. A special thanks to both Helen Thorington and Jo-Anne Green for their generous support and collaboration of this partnership, and their contribution to the field at large!
