I Became A Playwright In Medieval Fantasy

Chapter 43

"What? So the protagonist also inherited Deep One blood?”

"And that's why he's returning to the depths of the sea to become a Deep One, answering the call of the devil?"

The audience was left shocked by the unexpected and eerie twist that concluded The Shadow Over Innsmouth.@@@@

The story of the creepy old fishing village, its fish-like residents, and the fish demons they worshipped successfully drew the audience into the Lovecraftian horror atmosphere.

...Although, most people's reactions were still relatively mild at this point.

"It definitely gave me chills, but it's nothing unbearable."

"Yeah, it’s not all that different from Wanderbühne’s usual performances."

The Wanderbühne troupe had always specialized in short plays, so naturally, they excelled in condensed, intense narratives. However, they were not as adept at longer stories.

So Phantom turned this limitation into a strength by structuring The Cthulhu Mythos script as a series of interconnected short plays.

Each of Lovecraft’s many short and medium-length stories were divided into individual acts, creating an anthology-like universe.

Ssssh-!

Following this structure, a new wave of mist rolled in, and the next play, The Colour Out of Space, began.

The story follows a mysterious meteorite that crashes from the sky, and the strange color that emerges from it, leading to the downfall of Nahum Gardner’s farming family.

And from this point on, the audience’s reactions began to diverge.

"Down there... down there, the color is moving, Mother!"
