The Invisible Man

The Invisible Man at Menier Chocolate Factory

Why see The Invisible Man?

H.G. Wells’s classic tale is retold in a joyous, comedy music hall spectacular, packed with magical entertainment.

Set in the rustic village of Iping, the local inhabitants recount the mysterious happenings of the week that the sinister Griffin arrived wrapped in bandages and with a distinctly unsociable manner.

This charming story combines tongue-in-cheek humour with jaw-dropping special effects and ingenious illusions.
