Narrative Telephone

2020 · 4 seasons

Watching friends gleefully mangle a story and crack each other up feels like sitting in on the warmest, silliest inside joke.

Overview: Much like the game of telephone we all played in elementary school, Narrative Telephone involves a group of friends telling and re-telling a short story from one person to the next; with only their memory to help them recount what they heard. As the story inevitably changes and distorts it becomes more and more outlandish and hilarious. They then gather to watch the results and react, comment, commiserate, and joke about the chaos that ensues.
How it feels: Light, absurd, warm and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Friendship, memory, deception, art
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
