Liverpool Notes
It was realized what great scope there was for
dramatic productions, and with the help of Mr. Edward P. Genn, a well-known
theatrical producer and playwright, a company of Station Repertory Players was
formed. Their first play broadcast was on May 15th and so popular
did it prove that Radio Drama became a monthly feature. Several of the plays
presented have been specially written for the wireless – some of them by the
producer himself.

Newcastle Station
Dramatically, the Station has an interesting record.
Standing out from the many small plays the “5NO” Repertory Company has given so
successfully are the performance of ‘Macbeth’, ‘The Wasps of Aristophanes’,
‘Trilby’ and more recently a delightful version of Ibsen’s ‘Peer Gynt’ with
Grieg’s music.

Drama has played a very important part in the
programmes broadcast from the Aberdeen Station which has been particularly
lucky in having a local dramatist, Mr. Arthur Black. Altogeher we have twelve
of his plays, all of which portray actual incidents. Among his most successful
broadcast dramas we May mention ‘The Garden’, ‘The Glass Panel’, ‘The Lucky
Penny’, ‘The Fairies’ and ‘The New Barn’.
