"Mercury: Science Fiction Theatre" at UH-Manoa's Earle Ernst Lab Theatre takes its cue from Orson Welles' 1938 radio series that unleashed "War of the Worlds."

It's your last chance to see "Mercury: Science Fiction Theatre," at 11 p.m. today at the Earle Ernst Lab Theatre, University of Hawai'i-Manoa.

Advertiser theater critic Joseph T. Rozmiarek had this to say about the show: "If you miss 'The Twilight Zone' and are up for a late-night show that starts at 11 p.m. and plays into the wee hours, this collection of four short plays boasts sound performances and provocative ideas laced with humor."

Tickets, on sale an hour before curtain, are $10 general; $8 seniors, military, UH faculty/staff, students; $4 UHM students. 956-7655, www.hawaii.edu/kennedy.
