“Mirror Mirror on the Wall" is one of the first plays produced for the 1940s radio series , "Quiet,Please" – a series known for its innovative storytelling and captivating narratives. Created and written by Wyllis Cooper, who had previously gained recognition for his work on the popular radio show "Lights Out," "Quiet, Please" premiered on June 8, 1947, on the Mutual Broadcasting System. One of the defining features of "Quiet, Please" was its emphasis on psychological horror and thought-provoking narratives. Unlike many other radio dramas of the time, which relied heavily on dialogue and action, Cooper's writing for "Quiet, Please" often delved into the inner thoughts and emotions of the characters, creating a sense of unease and tension that resonated with listeners. Despite having a short, 2 year run, on the air "Quiet, Please" left a lasting legacy in the world of radio drama, inspiring future generations of writers and creators with its innovative storytelling and haunting atmosphere. Today, it is remembered as a classic example of the golden age of radio and continues to be appreciated by fans of vintage audio entertainment.
