Drama in silent rooms is the first complete history of ABC [Australian Broadcasting Corporation] and commercial radio drama that presents the human face of this extraordinary era, told by the leading actors and producers from within the silent rooms.

Television and the re-birth of the Australian film industry owe so much to these radio performers: Ruth Cracknell, Peter Finch, Rod Taylor, Leonard Teale, Bud Tinwell, John Meillon, Dinah Shearing and many others.
