The Invisible Man, Unicorn Theatre, 28th May – 18th June
Two artists, a stage technician and a musician are waiting to start their show. Everything is in place, but why hasn’t the audience arrived? Things start getting more and more unclear from then on. Who is playing the piano? Whose coffee mug is that, floating through the air? And who is that ghost sneaking off with that extension cord? Are the performers really here, or not? And can you actually see them, or will you just have to believe they are here?
Imagine how much fun you can have when no one can see you. Now The Invisible Man invites you to take a seat and watch… well… no one really.
The invisible man is a show about everything you don’t see. And it secretly revels in the joy of remaining unseen.
