Welcome, folks, to The New York Crimes: a modern radio play by written and recorded by Kristen Felicetti of The Bushwick Review, our zine soulmate over in Brooklyn. Referencing the old-timey radio plays of America’s past, Felicetti brings a Bushwick artist’s bent to a 21-cast production by hard-boiling her characters into everything from hipster trailer parks to underground music venues. The Crimes will be serialized in four parts in the course of two months on www.thenycrimes.com, and published simultaneously right here, with love, on DUM DUM. Listen to the first episode below!
In this first episode, Albert and Wallace Wren are two twentysomething brothers living an aimless existence in Brooklyn, until they are offerered a unique job by Norman Avery, a reclusive writer. Norman hires them to be private investigators for his company, an underground detective agency made up of over-educated and directionless young people in their twenties.
