press release: Upstart Crows Productions is proud to present the comedy-murder-mystery production of Jake Revolver, Freelance Secret Agent by Milwaukee playwright Matthew Konkel. In this radio-noir, private detective parody, Jake Revolver, Freelance Secret Agent fights against conspiracy, double-cross and self-reference to uncover the killer of his own narrator! This production of Jake Revolver, Freelance Secret Agent will be performed as if for the premiere episode of a 1940s live radio broadcast complete with foley-artistry and on-stage standup microphones. Packed with puns, plays on words, oodles of self-referential absurdity (and, uh, Beatles references?), Jake Revolver, Freelance Secret Agent is a stylish and ridiculous tour de force. Jake Revolver combines slapstick, screwball humor, commercial spoofs and a murder mystery for a laugh-a-minute theatrical comedy.
