🎧 The Cage

Hear “The Cage” from SF68, a collection of South African science fiction presented by Heritage Radio Vault.

SF68 puts a speculative idea into a recognisable human situation and lets the consequences develop. An unfamiliar discovery or future possibility matters because someone must respond to it, giving the science-fiction premise an immediate dramatic shape.

📻 About the programme
Michael McCabe produced and directed the South African series in 1968. Its stories drew on established science-fiction writing, interpreting the material through an English-language radio company. The half-hour anthology format brought a fresh situation and different characters to each production. It forms part of the same South African dramatic environment that also produced McCabe’s later horror work, while retaining its own focus on speculative possibilities.
