About the Show

Nikhil Parmar's one-man show about a struggling actor who turns to drug dealing to keep his life afloat.

Zayan, an under-employed actor and over-employed drug dealer, sees himself as the lead in the sitcom that is his life. Everyone else sees him as lazy, selfish, and useless – if they even notice him at all.

As Zayan attempts to become notorious, we see how he tackles oppression, grief, and the suspicion that his need to be invisible has driven him to be unforgivable.

Award-winning director Georgia Green directs this production, which is recommended for ages 14+.

Great performance, Definitely funny, Quick witted, Quirky essence, Busy dialogue/narration

See it if you enjoy busy storytelling. Tone is quick-witted and appealing & levelheaded recognition of certain social issues.

Don't see it if you don’t like busy storytelling in one man shows.

One man show, Relevant, Fast, Clever, Ambitious

See it if you enjoy provoking and lively storytelling. You think race issues are worth exploring. You don't mind non-linear stories

Don't see it if You prefer shows with a larger cast or clearer storyline. You have any kind of hearing issue (I don't and missed some dialogue)

Critic Reviews (3)

"Big themes are at play, but they are stitched together chaotically, and ultimately, ‘Invisible’ feels like it mostly exists as a fairly blatant vehicle for Parmar’s acting range."

"The themes are all interesting and important but in its current form, it makes for a chaotic hour."

"The delivery of the message is anything but simple... Parmar’s comedic skills and enthusiasm drive the piece along...it’s an hour well spent, and Parmar is a talent whose work will become incresingly visible."
