What exactly is the question asking sar?

it asking what thing made the production successful.

anonymous · Answer

here is some info that is in my notes about it: Because this sounded so much like a legitimate news update, many listeners in the 1930s were unable to tell that it was actually a radio drama. What you heard is a portion of a lengthy radio drama from the Mercury Theatre, run by actor and director Orson Welles. The show is called War of the Worlds, and it is based on a classic science-fiction novel by H. G. Wells.
