Quiet, Please
One writer, one voice, one microphone
After Lights Out, Wyllis Cooper stripped everything away. Quiet, Please has no orchestra beyond a single organ, essentially one actor, and a narrator who talks to the listener in the second person as though the two of you were the only people awake. It ran two years on a shoestring at Mutual, won awards nobody in the industry expected, and is now routinely named by writers as the best-written series American radio produced. Because it was so cheaply made, almost all of it survives.
