Radio plays are audio dramas that tell stories through dialogue, sound effects, and music, without any visual elements. They were popular in the early to mid-20th century, especially before the rise of television. Listeners engage their imagination to visualize the characters and settings based on the audio cues. These performances can cover various genres, including comedy, drama, and mystery. Radio plays often feature voice actors who bring characters to life, creating an immersive experience. Today, they continue to be produced and enjoyed through podcasts and online platforms, appealing to both nostalgic audiences and new listeners.
