Step into the shadowy streets of 1930s San Francisco with this taut, atmospheric radio play adaptation of Dashiell Hammett’s The Maltese Falcon—a cornerstone of American noir fiction.
Hard-boiled private eye Sam Spade finds himself ensnared in a deadly game of lies, greed, and betrayal when a mysterious woman walks into his office—and nothing, and no one, is what they seem.
Gripping. Gritty. Unforgettable.
This live radio drama brings the world of guns, killers, and femme fatales to vivid life through voice, sound, and story. It’s a razor-sharp tale where loyalty is fleeting, and everyone’s after the prize.
Expect:
- 5 actors conjuring a dozen dark and dangerous characters
- Sharp dialogue and smoky suspense
- A soundscape evoking a world of shadow, cynicism, and seduction
The Maltese Falcon stars the same cast who brought you His Girl Friday: Dave Fiebert, Sara Painter, Mary Beth Rim, Robert Smythe, and Jared Reed.
Don’t miss this stylish, taut performance of one of the greatest detective stories ever told—live and on the air.
