After taking a break from large scale outdoor spectacles and Glasgow Commonwealth Games closing ceremonies, Mark Murphy returned with an exciting theatre show entitled Out Of This World. Set inside the mind of a woman in a medically induced coma, Out Of This World brings ground breaking aerial choreography together with incredible special effects for an exciting and riveting story line that keeps audiences riveted to their seats.
Without Trace
Without Trace is an exhilarating thriller that transports readers to Bishop, California as Sierra Phantom struggles to find meaning and community for himself in life with an address. Journalist Danielle Nadler joins Sierra Phantom on his quest as they both come face to face with life after losing an elderly person who has lived alone for 50 years in the wilderness – eventually developing weekly conversations that reveal his softer heart that has survived great personal tragedy.
Without a Trace is a high-quality production, yet its depictions of violence may cause young viewers to become distressed. Parents can use the show as an opportunity to discuss rare instances depicted on it and what steps might be taken to ensure kids remain safe.
Without a Trace was created and produced by Hank Steinberg and Jerry Bruckheimer and ran on CBS from September 26, 2002 until May 19, 2009. It followed a missing persons unit run by FBI agent Jack Malone (Anthony LaPaglia). Set within the same universe as CSI and Cold Case, one episode saw Gil Grissom from CSI work alongside Jack Malone from Without a Trace on cases.
Simon Booker is an award-winning TV writer who has contributed his writing talents to hit shows like Inspector Lynley Mysteries, Holby City and Mrs Bradley Mysteries.

Out of This World
Murphy created her final work for V-TOL as her most complex one yet, weaving movement, text and music together into an intricate web of movement, text and musical layers to produce vivid imagery and an intense drama.
Thanks to an Arts for Everyone National Lottery award this production marked V-TOL’s inaugural use of live music in their production; composed by Graham Cunnington (Test Dept) and performed live by three musicians (the soundtrack drove action while also reflecting and complementing characters’ innermost feelings).

The Finale
Theater audiences know that a “finale” is the final flourish at the end of any performance, such as singing or dancing at an end-of-show showdown. A finale can take many forms: from songs or dance sequences, to dramatic musical pieces or any combination thereof. No matter its form, however, its purpose remains the same – to engage audience members and draw them in for the entire show! In fact, its pronunciation often rhymes with alley, giving rise to its name!
