Radio plays started in the 1920s and within a couple of decades had become extremely popular.
In essence a play was performed before an audience and broadcast on the wireless live, complete with the addition of sounds like footsteps, music and gunshots.
Some plays were written for radio but they could be almost anything that suited the medium.
That style of entertainment started losing ground with the advent of television in the 1950s although it remained popular for some time.
It had something of a revival as the internet emerged and with it a trend towards people enjoying vintage programs like silent movies.
