British Radio Drama, 1945-1963 reveals the quality and range of the
avant-garde radio broadcasts from the 'golden age' of British radio
drama. Turning away from the cautious and conservative programming
that emerged in the UK immediately after World War II, young
generations of radio producers looked to French theatre,
introducing writers such as Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco to
British radio audiences. This 'theatre of the absurd' triggered a
renaissance of writing and production featuring the work of Giles
Cooper, Rhys Adrian and Harold Pinter, as well as the launch of the
BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Based on primary archival research and
interviews with former BBC staff, Hugh Chignell places this
high-point in the BBC's history in the broader context of British
post-war culture, as norms of morality and behavior were
re-negotiated in the shadow of the Cold War, while at once
establishing the internationalism of post-war radio and theatre.
