"It is 1938. A successful radio producer has purchased a detective story from a writer named Raymond Chandler. Chandler is incensed that the producer is rewriting and distorting the story but seems powerless to do anything. With that as a background, the playwright segues into one of the slickest, smartest, funniest spoofs of the hard boiled detective genre ever to hit the boards." L.A. Weekly. "The best written of its genre and certainly the wittiest." L.A. Times. "One of the more successful spoofs of the hard boiled private eye yarns of the 30s." L.A. Magazine.

FEE: $75 per performance.
