Abstract

ABSTRACT

This paper examines the radio drama Danger (1924) by Richard Hughes. Danger, which is known as the world’s first radio drama, was broadcast by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) in January 1924. The play’s importance is not limited to its pioneering role in creating the genre of radio drama. Danger is set in a Welsh coal mine, a backdrop that invokes the social issues engaging Britain in the 1920s. By pursuing these issues, I would like to examine this work’s mission as a public medium that appeals to the masses, as well as its innovation in drama broadcasting.
