Can You Hear Me Now?

    Norkin has proved what I always suspected: Steve Jobs travelled through time and listened in on conversations between Bell and Watson to invent the i-phone. It’s a hilarious, farcical romp through the process of invention. Opportunities abound for physical humor, creative props, and a chance for two actors to shine. Audiences will lap it up if they can stop looking at their phones.

    Very funny play. The dialogue is very musical and rythmic, which should make it great fun for actors to play with. The melding of actual history with whimsical made up events is extraordinary. Highly recommend!

    A fun romp on history. Although the events from Norkin's viewpoint sound so much more fun haha. And I love how at the end one of the characters finally realizes the big problem with the invention, but who needs to be problem solvers right? A quick, fun, well written piece.
