Curtain Time
Hook, Line and Sinker
par
Curtain Time is a radio anthology of dramatic stories, presented as self-contained plays rather than as installments in a continuing character’s adventures. The title “Hook, Line and Sinker” identifies this broadcast’s story, while the series format offers listeners a complete dramatic situation in each program.
As an anthology, the show draws its interest from the changing stories and performances at its center. Listeners can settle into a new setting and conflict with each broadcast, following the action through dialogue and radio performance rather than narration alone.
The result is a compact theatrical listening experience, with the immediacy of actors bringing a story to life through their voices. Its appeal lies in the variety of dramatic situations and the pleasure of hearing a complete play unfold on the radio.
