| Imperfect Speakers by Wally Smith |
| Roles | Minimum Male roles = 2. Minimum Female roles = 1. Minimum total with doubling = 4. Minimum total without doubling = 4. No chorus. Gibson is written male but could, conceivably, be female. |
| Run Time | Around 20 minutes. [Estimated!] |
| Music | None. |
| Style | Short play - something of a political thriller. Simple set - the interpreters' booth at an international conference - which could even, at a pinch, be played front-of-curtain (though it requires a few small desks). Includes swearing. |
| Synopsis | Andy and Nigel are two old school friends reunited whilst translating at an international environmental summit. Nigel has always been a rabble-rouser but Andy and Ingrid, a German translator with a teddy bear, both realize that his responsibility as a diplomatic translator and his interest in politics overlap a little too keenly. |
