"Fugue in C Minor" was written by Lucille Fletcher. Considered to be a pioneering writer in the realm of radio drama, Fletcher has left an indelible mark with her captivating and suspenseful works. She excelled in building and sustaining suspense through the use of the audio medium allowing her to play with the audience's imagination. She created an atmosphere of tension through carefully crafted soundscapes and well-timed revelations. Whether it's the creaking of a door or the haunting notes of a melody, Fletcher understood that what is heard can be as powerful, if not more so, than what is seen. Many of Fletcher's works delve into the intricacies of the human mind. Characters are often confronted with psychological challenges, and the audience is taken on a journey through the complexities of their thoughts and emotions. This psychological depth adds layers to the narrative, making the audience not only witnesses to the story but also active participants in the characters' internal struggles. Her radio plays often featured unconventional storytelling techniques, keeping the audience on their toes.
