This user is part of a team with special interest in audio plays. As a matter of fact, dramatized radio theaters have a long tradition in Germany. Public radio on the one hand, and dubbing industry on the other hand may be the major reason. But yet another factor is the rise of commercial audio plays during the 1970s, accompanied by an increasing percentage of households with record players and tape decks. Here, hifi companies such as Philips, Telefunken or BASF had been important motors. As for Philips, the company published audio plays labeled FONTANA, and more than 100 of them were written and directed by Kurt Vethake and his actor team. Our team researches anything regarding the work and life of him as a writer and director of radio plays.
