''Earplay'' was the longest-running of the formal series of radio drama anthologies on National Public Radio, produced by WHA in Madison, Wisconsin and heard from 1972 into the 1990s. It approached radio drama as an art form with scripts written by such leading playwrights as Edward Albee, Arthur Kopit, Archibald MacLeish and David Mamet. Airing in stereo, ''Earplay'' provided a showcase for original and adapted work. Eventually, the less-sustained successor series ''NPR Playhouse'' drew episodes from the ''Earplay'' run. Often presented by NPR member stations on a weekly basis, ''Earplay'' episodes were produced with much attention to recording technique and sound-effects. In 1975, it scored a triumph with ''Listening'', an original play written by Edward Albee for stereo radio, employing one speaker for one character and another speaker for another character. Since both characters are seated in a room, the illusion is created that they are in the same room as the listener. After its premiere on radio, ''Listening'' was later performed on stage. Along with the ''CBS Radio Mystery Theater'', ''Sears Radio Theater'', ''The General Mills Radio Adventure Theater,'' Christian radio's ''Unshackled'' and Public Radio's ''The National Radio Theater of Chicago'', ''Earplay'' was among the most ambitious nationwide projects in the medium in the U.S. during the 1970s and 1980s. ==Listen== (22 episodes ) ''Internet archive'' Retrieved 2011 September 15 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Earplay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
