Arch Oboler's Plays
The Dark
von Arch Oboler
Arch Oboler's Plays presents radio drama by writer and director Arch Oboler, known for imaginative stories that often explore human fears, moral dilemmas, and unsettling possibilities. The series offers a range of dramatic situations rather than following a single continuing cast or storyline.
In “The Dark,” listeners encounter one of the program’s self-contained dramatic works. The title suggests an atmosphere of uncertainty, while the radio format lets voices, dialogue, and sound create the scene in the listener’s imagination.
Oboler’s dramas are suited to close listening: performances and sound carry the story, and the mood can shift from intimate to suspenseful. The result is a compact theatrical experience shaped for radio, with the focus on character, tension, and the power of the spoken word.
