Introduction

  is a narrator in it.
• He is very mysterious and hardly ever intervenes
  with the characters.

• He is the thoughts of the characters.
• This PowerPoint will be all about him

Our Narrator

• In most stories a narrator tells the audience
  more about the play.
• Our one does that but he also represents more
  and says more as if he were an actor.

Role of the Narrator
The narrator adds scary effects as well as more
atmosphere by singing along in all the songs. He
represents superstition, he can also represent
the devil. His actions affect the mood of the
play and he is a more important character than
meets the eye.

What Is The Narrator In The Play?

• The narrator to us is a bit of a Godly figure.
• He tells the audience the story, "So. Did you
  hear the story of the Johnstone twins? As like
  each other as two new pins?"
• He is always watching over the characters but
  hardly ever intervenes.

• The narrator is a very mysterious character in
  the way that he is always watching over Mickey
  and Edward, always in different places of the
  stage.
• Its as if though Mrs Lyons and Mrs Johnston know
  hes there because he was the only witness apart
  from them that saw the deal and he also has quite
  a bit more contact with those two characters than
  Mickey and Ed.

• You could also say that he was playing the
  superstitious side of the two mothers because of
  his song. Every time they were in doubt or
  superstitious he would sing the song like he was
  in there mind.

• He pressurises Mrs Lyons and Mrs Johnstone into
  making sudden decisions which they learn to
  regret. As the narrator says, Of one womb born,
  one the self same day, how one was kept and one
  given away.

• He adds moods effects to the play and his actions
  can dramatically how the audience feel about a
  certain event
• His dressing is very formal and again makes the
  mood more serious in the play he looks very
  professional
• He also tells the audience a bit about what is
  going on in the play at that time if he had not
  been the play would have been more difficult to
  understand

He was also a character in the play when he was
asked by Mickey to take a picture of Mickey,
Linda and Edward together. He holds onto the
camera thoughtfully as if he knows what will
happen

• This gives him a superiority over the other
  characters as if he knows what will happen and is
  taking in the happy moment before everything goes
  wrong.
