Although this is a work of fiction which took place in the late 1940's, it could happen in any small town, at any time. A small town is turned upside down with fear...fear of a strangler who stalks the town at night, leaving his defenseless prey dead! The Marshall and his deputy son are caught in a situation they would have never dreamed would happen in their community. They were now in search of a killer...a serial killer who is seeking out only women to be his victims and leaving no clues. Women who had lived in Rivertown all of their lives, all friends and neighbors. Another lifelong friend, George Marsh, the only lawyer in town, is called on to defend the suspect. He has no choice but to defend the person. When the Marshall finally gets a break, is it enough to prove his suspect is guilty? The decision would be left entirely in the hands of the jury.

Performing Mixed Reality
Author: Steve Benford
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262546507
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
A computer scientist and a performance and new media theorist define and document the emerging field of mixed reality performance. Working at the cutting edge of live performance, an emerging generation of artists is employing digital technologies to create distinctive forms of interactive, distributed, and often deeply subjective theatrical performance. The work of these artists is not only fundamentally transforming the experience of theater, it is also reshaping the nature of human interaction with computers. In this book, Steve Benford and Gabriella Giannachi offer a new theoretical framework for understanding these experiences—which they term mixed reality performances—and document a series of landmark performances and installations that mix the real and the virtual, live performance and interactivity. Benford and Giannachi draw on a number of works that have been developed at the University of Nottingham's Mixed Reality Laboratory, describing collaborations with artists (most notably the group Blast Theory) that have gradually evolved a distinctive interdisciplinary approach to combining practice with research. They offer detailed and extended accounts of these works from different perspectives, including interviews with the artists and Mixed Reality Laboratory researchers. The authors develop an overarching theory to guide the study and design of mixed reality performances based on the approach of interleaved trajectories through hybrid structures of space, time, interfaces, and roles. Combinations of canonical, participant, and historic trajectories show how such performances establish complex configurations of real and virtual, local and global, factual and fictional, and personal and social.
