	Radio drama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Radio drama (or audio drama, audio theater), which had its greatest popularity in most countries before the spread of television, depends on dialogue, music and sound effects to help the listener imagine the story in his "mind's eye".
		Radio 4 in particular is noted for its radio drama, broadcasting hundreds of one-off plays per year in strands such as The Afternoon Play, in addition to serials and soap operas such as The Archers.
		Radio drama can also be found on ACB radio produced by the American Council of the Blind and on XM Radio.

	Radio Drama, English-Language
		Canadian radio drama has been in the vanguard of these developments, achieving flexibility in the representation of scenes and scene transitions, original music and depiction of character.
		With the beginning of World War II the CBC Drama Department series became important instruments of war education and propaganda, and the project of centralizing prestige radio drama was begun.
		Thus experimental radio drama, such as that currently being created in the Acoustic Art Studio of the WDR network in Germany and elsewhere (with techniques inspired by Glenn GOULD's drama-music-documentaries broadcast by CBC at the turn of the 1970s), has not found a place in CBC radio-drama schedules to the present.

	Radio Drama - Television Tropes & Idioms
		Many of the Golden Age radio dramas eventually made the move to television, and several co-existed on TV and radio.
		Most Golden Age radio dramas suffer from some percentage of missing episodes, but, at least after the earliest days, these are surprisingly uncommon: Audio recording was cheap and the technology highly available, so recordings of 1930s and 1940s Radio Drama are available in much greater supply than their television contemporaries.
		Radio Drama persists to this day, but only as a shadow of its former glory, mostly for nostalgia purposes.

	Adapting Shakespeare for Radio Drama (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		This was for a workshop conducted by the Museum of Television and Radio.
		When adapting stage dramas, since the action cannot be seen, it is sometimes necessary to add some brief narration to replace the stage direction and keep events clear in the minds of the audience.
		In radio, the dialogue and narration contribute roughly 75% to the drama, with music another 15% and sound effects a paltry 10%.

	Writernet - What makes radio drama different?
		Radio is very good at dramatising the contrast between what people say and what they think.
		Equally, in the radio world there can be round squares, objects that are all fl and all white simultaneously, buildings so tall that their roofs hit the bottom of the earth.
		This is particularly true on radio, when the actor's facial expressions cannot be seen, nor can their postures or movements; emotions and all other clues about a character's inner life are portrayed entirely by the vocal delivery.

	Henry Reed in British Radio Drama
		Radio must realise that though it too [like the stage] may be the immediate medium through which a literature comes into being, even this literature will aim at a permanence beyond performance.
		This is possibly because he felt that, since the radio audience's mode of listening and degree of imaginative participation are (or should be) more intense than those of a conventional theatre audience, a high degree of concentration and a proper emphasis on the spoken word can be achieved in radio without verse predominating.
		Reed's radio drama certainly does not come to nothing, and if it is content to leave the medium technically much as it found it and is concerned predominantly with matters of creativity rather than being itself monumentally creative, it is preserved nonetheless by qualities we would be poorer without.

	Radio TimeLines - January to March
		Radio in it's infancy was mostly, as Eric Barnouw refers to it, "potted palm presentations." That is, polite music and speeches one might hear at the turn of the century in polite conservatories of the upper-middle class.
		The series was called the Sears Radio Theater and it was produced by Elliot Lewis, another former radio drama star.
		The series had no focused star and used radio actors as needed to achieve their desired results: to offer a true adult science fiction series that was intended to appeal to children in any way.

	Hints on writing radio drama
		The radio dramatist needs a creative interaction with the listener, and the ability of the radio dramatist to create a unique world in the listener's imagination is a special quality generally denied to TV viewers or theatregoers.
		In radio the listener can be instantly transported inside the head of a character and can hear those secret, private thoughts that are often better left unsaid.
		The key to writing successful plays for radio is to realise that the listener can only understand what is going on by what he or she hears.

		Smith immediately went to work on an adaptation of a play by Eugene Walter, entitled "The Wolf." This three act drama was cut down to exactly forty minutes by focusing on the action of the second act, adding just enough of the material from the first and third acts to make the story comprehensible.
		In agreeing to allow the adaptation, the playwright insisted that the presentation be given with a full cast, and Smith selected several of his colleagues from "The Masque" to play the roles: Viola Karwowska, Frank Finch, James S. Mullarkey, Henry Miller, and Smith himself.

		The CBC has a long and celebrated history of producing long form radio drama, and this tradition continues on both Radio 1 and 2 with Sunday Showcase and Monday Night Playhouse.
		Sunday Showcase radio plays are 52 minutes in length and, as a rule, are classically shaped dramas and comedies with a strong emphasis on story.
		A radio play which has six ten-minute scenes, each set in a dining room, is likely to be less effective than a play which varies its scenes and settings.
