Experience the thrill of a radio suspense drama played out before your eyes, complete with sound effects.

My Dear Niece is a classic thriller from the heyday of radio dramas. Emily Rogers, a widow woman, has taken her niece’s advice by finding herself a job to keep her busy and has put an ad in the paper – the reply she gets next day gives her more than she bargained for!

See performers from Ballarat National Theatre perform this story to life, which featured on CBS America’s Suspense show in 1946 and again in 1958.
