Jack Marlin, Private Eye: The Case of the Barbary Blackbird is a tribute to the work of Raymond Chandler and to his creation, Philip Marlowe. The story takes place in the city of San Francisco and Muir Woods in 1935 during the Art Deco Era and provides an opportunity for the audience to experience a recreation of an architecturally, artistically and culturally unparalleled time in American history. America does have a rich and vibrant culture and the Detective genre, a la Philip Marlowe, is quintessentially American."
