Radio Netherlands

(5 Sterne; 1 Bewertung)

Radio Netherlands organized a radio drama competition in 1970 to attract listeners in America. These are some examples that were rebroadcast in 1992.

01 The Damned Thing: What “The damned thing” is remains unclear. It is something that arrives in the mail, sent to a married couple who then try to put the contraption together. However, an essential part seems to be missing.

02 The Way Out West: What happens when a dark-skinned man arrives in a conservative town? Especially the flashy way he dresses seems to upset people, leading to punishment.

03 So Many Surprises: Set in an old people’s home, three women await their time to come. In surroundings where the pace of life is slow, the slightest incident is blown up to assume major and often shocking proportions.

04 Post-Mortem: A boy who has been killed in a demonstration for more love in the world has a “dialogue” with the pathologist performing the autopsy.
