Martin Esslin, who died in 2002, was the most influential figure in radio drama in the 1960s and 70s.

Esslin also coined the phrase "theatre of the absurd" in a book of the same name and made it his mission to champion avant-garde theatre. In this programme, Paul Allen reassesses Martin Esslin's work, illustrated with excerpts from his drama productions, interviews and broadcasts.
