Characteristic advantages-

The earliest radio drama in the world is regarded as the work of richard hughes. A form of drama recorded mechanically through language, music and sound. Losing visual means is the weakness of radio drama, and only auditory means (language, music, sound) can not only fully mobilize the imagination of the audience, so that they must directly participate in the creation and get special artistic enjoyment from it;

Moreover, due to the loss of visual means, radio drama can gain greater freedom of time and space when unfolding the plot, making fantasy, dreams and memories become the ideal themes of radio drama. Because radio plays only have auditory means, they are not suitable for scenes with many characters and complicated plots, and require simple clues and concentrated characters.
