Best Answer

A narrator tells the outline of the story/play in as little or as much detail as needed. This depends on the audience and the type of play being acted out. For instance, in a childrens show, the characters may not speak much, and so the story needs to be told by somebody else. Or, in a play aimed at a higher age group, The play may be complicated or the speech the characters give may not be enough to get the message of the story accross, if there is one.

Is a narrator part of the story?

The narrator is part of the literary work. The narrator may or may not be in the story itself. In Moby Dick the narrator is part of the crew. In Our Town the narrator is not in the story as the narrator but appears in several parts as various characters and the audience is always told that this character is also the narrator. In The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner, the narrator is repeating what the old sailor told him so he is not part of the central story. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between a narrator who is not in the story and the author. Dickens wrote in the third person and in the first person. In some stories the narrator become very invisible indeed however it is difficult to do away with the narrator all together. A story with a perfectly invisible narrator would read like a drama script.


Is the narrator part of the cast list in drama?

Yes, in most cases the narrator will be listed in the cast list. If you are writing a play, it's a good idea to give all your characters names, rather than just naming them by their function (e.g. Narrator, Mother, Doctor) as it gives the actor more to work with when developing character.
