Aquila Theatre Company: The Invisible Man

Aquila will also present a special one-hour school-day performance at 10:00 a.m.

This brand new stage version of H.G. Wells's The Invisible Man, set in Victorian London and rural southern England, and based closely on the 1897 novel, tells the story of a talented young English scientist named Griffin who makes a startling discovery. Obsessed with the notion of invisibility, Griffin sets out on a secret quest to put his radical theories into practice eventually rendering himself completely invisible. But science goes too far and the invisibility proves more a curse then a blessing pushing Griffin further and further away from society until he becomes a hunted specter.

In The Invisible Man, H.G. Wells asks us to consider what it means to be human and how fragile modern society can be. He examines the very nature of existence and questions the achievements of scientific discovery in a beautifully written and ultimately tragic scientific adventure story that has enthralled generations of readers.

Aquila Theatre Company's adaptation, using its famous penchant for heights of theatricality to bring Wells's story to vivid life on stage, promises to be exciting, bold, adventurous and compelling.
