radio play
Spoken broadcast performance
A radio play is a dramatic work written for audio broadcast, performed by voice actors with sound effects and music but no visual elements.
The form flourished in the early and mid-twentieth century before television, producing classics like *The War of the Worlds*.
We listened to an old radio play on the drive home.
