    Radio dramas didn’t exist until the 1920s. Marx died in 1883 when electromagnetic waves themselves were just a hypothesis. The first experimental radio signals were done by Heinrich Hertz in 1886. The first radio broadcast with audio didn’t happen until 1906.

    Marx was an avid Shakespeare fan if that counts. I think he mentioned Christopher Marlowe a few times too.
