When I heard I was going to a show called "Intergalactic Nemesis: Twin Infinity", I didn't know what to expect. But I at least thought of sci-fi and aliens. I didn't except it to be a radio play or based on a comic book, but in hindsight, the comic book part should have been obvious. The show itself is based on a graphic novel called, of course, "Intergalactic Nemesis".
When you see the show, there is a projection screen showing panels of comic book illustrations designed specifically for this show, and three actors stand in front of microphones. There's also a Foley actress armed with a table full of props to make sound effects. On one side is a woman in charge of the computer controlling the projections, and on the other side is a keyboard player. Everyone involved typically reacts to the scenes going on. The only voice actress narrates the story and moves the plot along. The two men on either side of her play the other characters and it continues with additional sound effects to make a more complete experience and really bring the story to life.
As for the story itself, it's about time travel, a wild goose hunt, aliens, doubles, and an interrupted wedding. It's funny and entertaining to watch. The voice actors are phenomenal and the Foley actress is impressive. Altogether, the show was great and worth the watch. On top of it all is a great name, even if it left me unsure of what the show would be. In the end I was really glad I got to opportunity to see "Intergalactic Nemesis: Twin Infinity.”
