Four archaeology students from the University of Chicago arrive in Cairo for spring break — and before they've even landed, something is wrong. Kayla, the Egyptophile of the group, discovers that the ancient book of maps she brought along has writing inside it that glows in the dark. She doesn't tell anyone. Not yet.
Long Night in Egypt is an eight-part horror audio drama built on real Egyptian mythology — the Pyramid Texts and the Book of the Dead, the same sacred writings that lined the tomb of Pharaoh Unas at Saqqara. Episode 01 introduces Kayla, Mo, Jordan, and Pia as they arrive in Cairo and are met by Mo's cousins Samira and Amr, whose family holds the keys — literally — to the ancient sites. One of those cousins already has a plan.
Directed by Jack Bowman. Written by Sarah Pitard. Score by Talip Peshkepia. Sound design by Jan Piasecki. A Violet Hour Media production.
