Probably the two most famous radio dramas are Under Milk Wood[?], a 'Play for Voices' by Dylan Thomas, and (in the US) Orson Welles's version of War of the Worlds, originally a book by H. G. Wells. Radio drama is still popular-much more popular than televisual plays, and adaptations include the work of Shakespeare and other playwrights.
Radio dramas can be regularly heard on the Canadian Broadcasting Company, Radio 1.
