The world didn't know it needed another slice from the case files of Joe Pie, P.I., but it got one anyway and I'm glad. Again Plumridge and Norkin have thrown a mishmash of puns, song lyrics, movie quotes, and meta self-references into their magic script blender and managed to come up with a comedic noir that will keep the reader chuckling, groaning, and guffawing from start to finish. Pi as a number is infinite. With any luck, Pie as a source of theatrical enjoyment will be as well.

I can't believe I came back for thirds on pie. What can I say? The puns are delicious! The Cockney translations were much appreciated. It's like you need a decoder ring to converse in certain parts of the British Isles! This is delightful silly fun!

11.04.24 - Well, I gotta hand it to both Chris and Morey! They really make me feel like I'm in an old time speakeasy with this film-noir, pun-filled, movie-quotin', song-titled, laugh fest. And considering one of the characters uses Cockney Rhyming Slang, speaking easy doesn't come quickly to the fore. But the characters are always fun, new additions like Pop Sickles are great ("You can send pics later" made me guffaw!) and reading this feels just as fun as a live production would be. Loved it!
