Lead
Sam Spade
Private detective
Half of Spade & Archer. A hard jaw, a quick mind and a code of his own that nobody else quite understands. He doesn’t trust anyone in this story, and he’s usually right not to.
Casting soon
The Maltese Falcon
A dead partner. A lying client.
And a black bird worth killing for.
LRT Media brings Dashiell Hammett’s hard-boiled classic to audio, played the old way: San Francisco in the 1940s, fog on the bay and every voice in the room hiding something.
The casting room isn’t open yet.
We’re still at work on the script. When the cast list and audition sides are ready, this page becomes the casting room, with character profiles and a recorder right in your browser, like our Fairchilds of Rosemont auditions.
The case file
The people we know about so far.
The full cast is still taking shape. These four are certain.
Lead
Brigid O’Shaughnessy
The client
She walks in with a frightened story and a false name. Every time she tells it, it changes, and every version is convincing.
Supporting
Effie Perine
Spade’s secretary
Lanky, sharp and loyal. She runs the office, reads people better than her boss will admit, and isn’t afraid to tell him so.
Supporting
Miles Archer
Spade’s partner
Older, louder and sure of himself, with an eye for a good-looking client. He takes a simple tailing job one foggy night.
To be announced
And the rest
