Does anyone else listen to radio dramas/plays?

I find audiobooks are much too long for me. I know that you can increase the speed but I'm a fast reader and I can still read the book in less time than it takes to listen to them. I also prefer a full cast to one narrator.

Radio plays are perfect for me. I usually listen while cleaning or while shopping or chatting online. I particularly like horror related dramas but classics too and I'm in the middle of Ben Hur at the moment.

Does anyone else enjoy them?
And do you please have any other recommendations? Which have you most enjoyed?

TIA

Thought I was only person on the planet with a real live plug in radio. It sits in the summer house,along with the e bike, stepper, weight bench. Only radio 4. Don't have e books, like proper paper versions

I listen to radio plays when sewing. Yesterday I listened to a Midsummer Night's Dream on BBC sounds.

Annika Stranded is good - same character and actress (Nicola Walker) as the Annika TV series, recently shown on Ch4.

A month or so ago I listened to the first part of the radio play of Behind Her Eyes but left it too long to listen to the second part and it's now not available on Sounds!
