'Outside Inn', a New Murder Mystery, Premieres at 59E59

OUTSIDE INN is a murder mystery that leaps across three continents, including present-day Germany, a small town near the Arizona-Mexican border and Namibia (the former German colony). Paul, a disillusioned German civic engineer unintentionally participates in the death of his boss, a Svengali-like tycoon. Rather than going to the police, Paul runs away to a small town in Arizona. With his mistress Marina by his side, he steals the identity of his former boss and flees across the Mexican border. The husband and wife Paul and Marina leave behind must face a future alone and a past that continues to haunt them.

The cast of OUTSIDE INN features Roger Grunwald (KNB-The Musical), Markus Hirnigel (The Hating Pot at BAM), Jenny Lee Mitchell (The Curse of the Mystic Renaldo The) and Karen Sieber (Mack and Mabel and Very Good Eddie at Goodspeed Opera House).

OUTSIDE INN is the first project of International Culture Lab, the newly reconfigured Production Company, which formerly had a twenty-five year history producing nationally and internationally as Thieves Theatre, best known for its world premiere in New York of R.W. Fassbinder's controversial play about real estate speculation, Trash, the City and Death. It was also a cofounder of the Rat Conference, an international collective of theater artists.
