The Inside Edge of the World

One of the most intriguing solo shows at this year’s Fringe is The Inside Edge of the World (or Where Have All of the Good Serial Killers Gone?). It’s a fascinating study of a wannabe forensics detective who communicates telepathically with his dog and is simultaneously dealing with the trauma of being brainwashed by a suicide cult.

It’s an intense and complex piece, and writer/producer Michael Evans Lopez and director Maria Pasquarelli had their work cut out for them to delineate multiple characters and help audiences navigate a labyrinthian plot that’s mysterious, compelling — and yes, humorous.

Michael and Maria were kind enough to answer some questions for me and provide some insight on the development and meaning of this puzzle-box of a play.

What was the genesis of the creative process here? What influenced you to write this piece?

Michael: Maria and I have been listening to a lot of Michael Connelly’s Harry Bosch detective series in our cars on our long commutes
