Director's Notes
I have always been a fan of mysteries. Agatha Christie, one of my favorite mystery writers, has been adapted and dramatized, for the stage, television, film, and radio. What many people do not realize is that Agatha Christie was also an amateur theatre artist. She belonged to a theatre company and they would perform her plays. She has adapted many of her novels to the stage, as well as creating original plays for the stage and radio.
We are presenting three of her original radio plays as they may have been performed live in the radio studio during the golden age of radio, the 1930s and 1940s. Journey back with us in time and take a peek at how shows were present for the airwaves. Performing on the radio would become the predecessor for modern-day voice acting for animation, anime, and video games. So sit back as we transport you back to a radio station in London for an evening of mystery and murder in the studio.
