Earplay was the longest-running of the formal series of radio drama anthologies on National Public Radio, 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.

The play heard on this track is a BBC Radio drama written by British Playwright, Shirley Gee and is entitled "Stones". It was aired on May 14, 1978 on NPR - sponsored by The Corporation for Public Broadcasting. (Source: Old Time Radio Archives)
