THE INVISIBLE MAN
H.G. Wells’s classic novel, adapted by Ken Hill. Directed by Ian Talbot, designed by Paul Farnsworth, lighting by Jason Taylor, costumes by Matthew Wright. H.G. Wells’s classic novel has been converted into a music hall romp for the entire family. The ‘ideous ‘appenings that shook the bucolic village of Iping when the sinister Griffin arrived, wrapped in bandages and with a distinctly unsociable manner, are told with tongue-in-cheek humour combined with special effects.
