Adapted by Derek Webb

The thought of invisibility, and the advantages it could bring to someone, is one which has captured the imagination of millions since the classic HG Wells’ story was first published in 1897. ‘The Invisible Man’ has been adapted many times for the screen, but rarely for the stage.

This brand new, fast-moving, very funny adaptation has all parts from a vicar, to pub landlady to a tramp, to the Invisible Man himself… fifteen characters in total, played by just three actors, and that, in itself, is the source of a great deal of fun. It is obvious that they are aware of their quick-changing roles, and the audience is let in on the joke too. Which gives rise to some very funny moments! 

The thought of invisibility also gives rise to plenty of visual gags with characters, and audience, being invited to imagine objects that patently aren’t visible.


But, while injecting a great deal of humour, the adaptation keeps broadly with the plot of the original book and retains some key points that Wells makes; the novel highlights some of the economic and political problems that preoccupied him throughout his career. Many of these are still relevant and resonate with us today.
