Download the First Episode of Out of Time

Nother Theatre, October 2011
 
A time-travel adventure set in a high school. When a girl goes missing, and stories are told about a door that goes nowhere, four students take it upon themselves to prove that the story is true. One student goes further than the others; her desire to find out what lies behind the door leads her into a world where time as we understand it no longer exists, and return to her real world is difficult, if not impossible.
 
Performed by a cast including Elizabeth Iezzi, Elhayym Campbell, Amanda Cooper and the memorably named Elliot Skywalker, Out of Time is a good example of a drama drawing on sources both ancient and modern. The theme of temptation - what lies behind the door - goes right back to the Fall, especially when a young woman is involved. The unseen force, here called Kendra (played by Skywalker) is both corporeal and psychological, representing the darkest forces lurking within a person's soul. The high-school setting is appropriate: students are not only learning academic subjects, but learning something about themselves. Out of Time shows this learning process in extreme form.
 
Unfortunately the Nother website (www.nother.us) does not announce if and when the second episode of this drama will appear. I hope it will be sooner rather than later; I want to know what happens next.
