	Radio drama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Radio drama (audio drama), which had its greatest popularity in the United States and in most other countries before the spread of television, depends on dialogue, music and sound effects to help the listener imagine the story in her or his "mind's eye".
		Radio dramas can be regularly heard on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (Radio 1), on RTÉ in Ireland, and the BBC's Radio 4, Radio 3, and BBC 7.
		Radio 4 in particular is noted for its radio drama, with strands such as The Afternoon Play broadcasting hundreds of one-off plays per year, in addition to serials and soap operas such as The Archers.

	Samuel Beckett's Radio Plays (music of the the absurd) - Chapter 1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Radio's ability to change its shape according to its obligation to the listening public and the state of the country was confirmed when the General Forces Programme was launched for the purpose of entertaining troops and upholding a link between them and their families at home.
		Radio playwrights found that they did not have to worry about the box office success of their plays in terms of economy or be afraid of offending the kind of mass audience that television attracted, and were therefore free from the self censorship which influenced the other rival institutions.
		Radio is "par excellence, the medium for the depiction of madness," claims Angela Carter, "for the exploration of the private worlds of the old, the alienated, the lonely." Yet, plays which render such inner lives have become "Radio Three clich?, along with the apocalypses and Kafkaesque existential confrontation set in nameless, featureless places," she continues.

	Samuel Beckett's Radio Plays (music of the the absurd) - Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		This is perhaps partly why music plays an important part in Beckett's writing, not only through the odd mention of specific works, but as an influence on the structure of his plays and the mode of expression which his characters, movements and sound effects adopt.
		Although many critics mention the fact that Beckett's plays have a musical shape, there does not seem to be a critical study specifically aimed at exploring this aspect of his writing in connection with his radio plays.
		In a comparatively recent compilation of radio drama criticism, John Drakakis laments this general lack of serious discussion, claiming that a focus on technological inventiveness has been given precedence over the establishment of a 'clear set of aesthetic criteria' by which to judge the radio play.

	Sound Effects In Stoppard's Radio Plays
		Because the radio plays are so short, playwrights are forced to work very economically and to find simple stories and jokes to maintain the audience’s attention.
		The three men play a game with Sophie who is supposed to be walking around in a room to return to the same point she started from and sit down on a chair.
		While in the radio play Stoppard describes how the city of Jummapur is supposed to sound (ambient sound would not be urban, a lot of animal sounds, the surround of the verandah sandy and not metalled, all p.199), he describes the setting in the direction for the stage play.

	Listening to radio plays: fictional soundscapes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Radio drama remodels the soundscape in to an 'atmos' (short for atmosphere) background, and uses it often to signal the opening of a scene, or 'sign posting' as it is termed.
		The radio drama audience is required to make an active commitment, an 'aural contract' with the play, interpreting the narrative and dialogue in accordance with the codes and conventions of a long BBC tradition.
		Radio drama's middle ground is a fascinating area because often it does not exist, mainly due to the primacy of the dialogue.
