Creatives
Logan van Steenderen & Kim Offeringa

Writer
Howard Phillips Lovecraft

Synopsis
Regina Olmstead is traveling to Arkham, but ends up in Innsmouth – a town with a deep and dark history, shrouded in ominous secrecy. Regina tries to avoid the trappings of the town but finds herself inexplicably drawn in deeper and deeper, as the people, and maybe even the town itself, slowly start to turn against her.

The Shadow over Innsmouth is intended to be a theatrical experience dealing with themes of madness, supernatural horror, eldritch abominations, and cosmic dread.

Trivia

 * The set of the play consisted out of a large canvas on which projections would be displayed, and a large movable door. During the play, a lot of interactions would be done with the set, like the door moving away from the protagonist, even being broken down, or hands coming from the other side of the canvas.
 * The play made use of a soundscape throughout the play.
