What Happened in Lanzarote

Larpwright: Aslak Tirera
Script writers: Eirik Fatland og Elin Nilsen


What Happened in Lanzarote is a farce about a group of neighbours who go on a charter tour to Lanzarote in the Canary Islands. The larp is framed by a barbecue party that occurs after the characters have returned home. The character texts describe the characters as they were before departing for Lanzarote. During the larp, we improvise what actually happened at Lanzarote. This is a larp with plenty of intrigue and entanglements, and maybe a bit of depth.

It is exceptionally simple to organize and play.
