About Arch Obolers Plays
From the publisher's feed
Arch Oboler’s Plays was a remarkable radio series that showcased the creative genius of Arch Oboler, one of the most innovative and influential writers and directors of the Golden Age of Radio. Airing primarily in 1939–1940 on NBC, with a later revival in 1945 on Mutual, the show was a platform for Oboler to explore a wide range of genres—psychological thrillers, horror, science fiction, and human dramas—all marked by his distinctive storytelling style. Known for his work on the earlier horror series Lights Out, Oboler used this program to craft more sophisticated, thought-provoking narratives, often with a cinematic quality that pushed the boundaries of what radio could achieve.
The series debuted on April 5, 1939, running weekly through July 5, 1940, with a total of 26 episodes in its initial NBC run. Unlike Lights Out, which leaned heavily into visceral scares, Arch Oboler’s Plays balanced suspense with emotional depth, offering listeners a mix of eerie tales and poignant character studies. Oboler wrote, directed, and often introduced the episodes himself, his voice setting the stage with a blend of gravitas and intrigue. The 1945 revival, sometimes called Everyman’s Theater in its early episodes, aired from March 25 to October 19, featuring 39 additional plays, many of which revisited or reimagined earlier scripts.
