 The climax of Lawrence Holcomb's 1931 NBC play "Skyscraper" also uses a variation of the technique (so that the listener can hear the final thoughts and relived memories of a man falling to his death from the title building).There were probably earlier examples of stream-of-consciousness drama on the radio.For example, in December 1924, actor Paul Robeson, then appearing in a revival of Eugene O'Neill's "The Emperor Jones", performed a scene from the play over New York's WGBS to critical acclaim.
