Illusion, Magic or Science?…

Come and see The Invisible Man as you've never seen him before!

The Sinodun Players present The Invisible Man from the Father of Science Fiction, H. G. Wells. This timeless, classic story involving five actors performing fifteen roles is warm, witty and fast-paced. Derek Webb’s adaptation remains faithful to the original novel: A warning of the dangers of modern science and technology, which in the wrong hands is sadly still relevant today!

Lou is a reclusive gym manager who falls hard for Jackie, an ambitious bodybuilder who's heading to Las Vegas to pursue her dream. Their love soon leads to violence as they get pulled deep into the web of Lou's criminal family.

Starring Kristen Stewart, Katy O'Brian and Ed Harris.
