Shadows & Secrets by Nancy Wang is based on a dossier of scattered historical facts, newspaper clippings, and memories of Nancy Wang’s grandfather Chin F. Foin, whose demise in mob era Chicago (Foin fell to his death down the elevator shaft of his restaurant), was understood to be an accident — or was he pushed?
This staged, multi-media whodunit radio play searches for answers! Broadcasted in front of a live studio audience! Mystery Radio Playhouse hopes to solve the cold case of Mr. Chin Foin, famous restaurateur of the Mandarin Inn. It is 1924. A Chicago rain storm. A flooded basement. Prohibition, fires, tong wars, jealousy, and greed hang in the wet and darkened air. Chin Foin has plunged four floors down the elevator shaft of his own restaurant. Slippery shoes? Or was he pushed?! Ruled an accident, but there are too many suspicious circumstances surrounding his untimely and unexpected death. His granddaughter hopes to solve the case!
This show is suitable for mature audiences and runs 75 minutes with no intermission.
