New Release Title - The Iron Duke

An astounding cast assembled last Saturday on Hollywood Boulevard at the Pulp Fiction Theater for the Stories from the Golden Age.

They were: (l to r) Phil Proctor, Michael Yurchak, John Mariano, Rajia Baroudi and Tait Ruppert.


The story they performed was one of suspense, sprinkled with humor and romance:

American arms merchant Blacky Lee is wanted by nearly every government in 1930s Europe— especially the Nazis. They want Blacky's head for selling them dud weapons, prompting his rapid (and illegal) escape across the Balkans to the kingdom of Aldoria with his business partner in tow.

Aldoria is well chosen. Years before, Blacky discovered he was the spitting image of the country's Prince Philip, learned the archduke's speaking voice and memorized the royal family tree just in case. When Blacky brazenly impersonates the leader, things go surprisingly well . . . that is, until he finds himself caught in the middle of a Communist plot to rig elections and take over.

Michael Yurchak said about the show, "It is pulp fiction at its absolute, quintessential best. It's a really great experience from top to bottom."

Phil Proctor, one of the founders of the Firesign Theater, added, "I think this is a very great story. It leaps off the page when you read it. It's almost like watching a really good movie—in your mind."

The theater was crowded with interested listeners who enjoyed the story immensely.
