WHO KILLED OTTER’S BABIES?

Directed and Created by Mike Lion

An interactive murder mystery in a town full of animals.

In this immersive theatre piece, audiences were welcomed into Otterton, WA as members of an independent review board, tasked with interviewing the locals about controversial Proposition 31-C — the construction of a new dog park. They were quickly wrapped up in local politics and the investigation of the murder of a young otter. By following, interviewing, advising (sometimes spying on) the animals, audiences could solve the murder and alter the fate of the town and its inhabitants.

The production took place all around Seattle’s Carkeek Park and audiences were able to directly affect the outcome of the story.
