The Impossible Narrator

Recommended by

  • Kim E. Ruyle: The Impossible Narrator

    This is a clever, fast, and very fun piece of readers’ theatre. Not only would this be entertaining for an audience, I think it could be an excellent activity in an acting class. Well done.

  • John Mabey: The Impossible Narrator

    The settings change fast and the comedy comes faster in THE IMPOSSIBLE NARRATOR by James Binz. As each scenario unfolds, the audience is also treated to a farcical take on tropes in each genre, laughing along at them with the characters. There's lots of action throughout, making this short play high energy for any festival.

  • Kelly McBurnette-Andronicos: The Impossible Narrator

    This lightning-fast short play is a fun traipse through multiple, easily recognizable genres. It’s highly physical, too, offering three actors a meaty challenge. But it’s the omniscient Narrator who cheekily controls all their fates. Four fun roles and a quick pace would really deliver a crowd pleaser. Perfect choice for a festival of short plays.
