Description

Radio Drama Theory and Practice explores the practical skills needed for radio drama, including directing, writing, and sound design. By examining media history and communication theory, the book challenges traditional views of radio as a 'blind medium'.

The author draws on extracts from scripts and analyses of radio broadcasts from various countries to illustrate the evolution of radio drama since its inception. This includes an examination of how experimentation in radio narrative has blurred the line between fiction and reality in modern media.

Tim Crook also evaluates the future of radio drama in the age of live phone-ins and immediate access to programmes on the Internet, providing a comprehensive guide for those involved in producing drama for radio.
