Described by H.G. Wells as 鈥渁 grotesque romance,鈥� 鈥淭he Invisible Man鈥� remains as remarkable and frightening today as it was upon its publication over a hundred years ago. This thrilling adaptation by John de Lancie brings one of H.G. Wells鈥� most terrifying characters to life with the power of imagination in the style of a classic radio drama.
The story begins on a bitter winter evening, when a mysterious stranger arrives in the remote English village of Iping in the dead of winter, his face swaddled in bandages. The stranger is Griffin, a scientist who has discovered the secret to invisibility but cannot find a way to reverse it. Freed from the constraints of physicality and rejected by a society that fears him, Griffin descends into madness, violence and brutality.
Company members include Dorion Alcantar, Eva Arita, Elijah Barrie, Daniel Bourque, Alyssa Gudz and Benji Shelton. 鈥淭he Invisible Man鈥� is produced by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company of Woodstock, Illinois.
