A live radio show of Agatha Christie's Murder On Air opened the 2019 Wuxi Grand Theater Drama Festival on April 13.

Made up of three radio plays, Personal Call, Butter in a Lordly Dish and Three Blind Mice, the show featured famous voice actors telling the stories. The vividness of the characters stood out sharply against the simple costumes and setting.

The Wuxi Grand Theater Drama Festival will run from April to November, featuring 28 productions, mostly from China, performed a total of 36 times. It will be the biggest ever drama festival to hit the city.
