Arch Oboler's Plays

Another World

English · Dramatic Readings, Science Fiction, Mystery & Thriller

Arch Oboler's Plays presents radio dramas written by Arch Oboler, a playwright known for imaginative and often unsettling stories. The series brings listeners into self-contained dramatic worlds, where ordinary lives can be disrupted by strange events, moral dilemmas, or speculative ideas.

Each broadcast is built around a scripted story performed for radio, using actors, dialogue, music, and sound effects to create its setting and atmosphere. The title “Another World” suggests a story centered on a different or unfamiliar reality, while the series as a whole ranges across dramatic and speculative themes.

Oboler’s work is associated with suspenseful storytelling and a willingness to explore the darker edges of human experience. The result is intimate, theatrical listening: voices and carefully shaped sound carry the action, inviting attention to both the story’s ideas and its mood.
