Hot Lead, Cold Iron : A Mick Oberon Job

Private investigator Mick Oberon works the shadowy streets of Depression-era Chicago, where supernatural crimes lurk beneath the city's gritty exterior. When a notorious mobster hires him to locate his daughter who vanished sixteen years earlier, replaced by a changeling from the fae realm, Oberon finds himself caught between two dangerous worlds. His investigation forces him to navigate treacherous fae politics while dodging bullets from Chicago's criminal underworld, all while confronting a past that makes him decidedly unwelcome in the mystical Seelie Court.

GraphicAudio's full-cast production transforms Ari Marmell's urban fantasy noir into an immersive theatrical experience that captures both the smoky atmosphere of 1930s Chicago and the otherworldly menace of the fae realm. Eric Messner anchors the performance as the cynical yet compelling Oberon, while the ensemble cast brings distinct voices to mobsters, magical creatures, and everyone in between. The dramatized format enhances the story's dual nature, seamlessly blending hard-boiled detective dialogue with ethereal fantasy elements through carefully layered sound effects and musical scoring that evokes both jazz-age speakeasies and ancient magical courts.
