THE INFINITE FUTURE

A full cast capably adapts this complex novel with many nested narratives within narratives and frequent thematic digressions. Narrators Michael Crouch, Jonathan Davis, and Hillary Huber carry the first half as three disparate characters who are captivated by the works of obscure science-fiction writer Eduard Salgado-MacKenzie. Together they seek out the elusive author and his lost manuscript, THE INFINITE FUTURE. Though we know early on that they'll eventually find it, their quest is still full of surprises. Then, it's to infinity and beyond as narrators Phoebe Strole and Kristen Sieh read the title sci-fi story, a curious mix of space adventure and scholarly satire. Not everyone will love the unconventional storytelling. But the strong leading performances, plus several effective supporting roles, should win over many listeners.
