John Greyson is having some major fun with Murder in Passing, a two-month series of 30-second mystery episodes showing on Toronto subway platforms. The first episodes launched this morning.
I don’t understand why it’s set in Vancouver, not Toronto. But that aside, its a Toronto cast that includes a long list of familiar names, including soprano Erin Bardua.
Bardua is an actor in the episodes, but she is also part of a bonus, musical side to the story. Each episode, when viewed online, comes with a mock-opera ensemble aria by composer David Wall that sheds some light on the unfolding mystery.
Clever and fun.

And this is the first episode, complete with post-video music:
