Without A Trace
By Melanie Davies
Without a Trace is a gripping story of an ordinary amateur dramatics group who do quite extraordinary things. From the start you suspect that everything isn’t quite what it seems, but you’ll never believe what has gone on in the past, or what is yet to come. The play is set over one night of rehearsal bringing together the whole company, who are rehearsing for their next production. The trouble is this isn't just another amateur drama company, far from it. They carry a secret which has troubled all of them over the years and which is about to be found out in a very unpleasant way/. The play takes you down a nice gentle country lane and then swerves off onto a motorway. It plays with your expectations and ideas about this small town group of actors. You’ll definitely think twice about joining an am dram group after this.
