Woman's Hour Drama

Woman's Hour Drama

The "Woman's Hour Drama" is a BBC Radio 4 Arts and Drama production. It consists of 15 minute episodes, broadcast every weekday 10.45-11.00am (i.e. at the end of "Woman's Hour" proper), repeated 7.45-8.00pm. These tend to be plays which extend over a week, or multiple of 5 episodes. Occasionally, each day's slot for a week or more will be filled by single drama, linked to the others of the week by a theme.

The subjects covered are many and varied, and not just for women. According to Radio 4, they aim to provide a mixture of classic and contemporary drama, adaptations of books and original writing.
