No one - Akimbo Theatre // Sunday, April 16
Strange things have started to happen in Wellston - haunted pubs, demonic forces, a woman has gone missing.
No One is a modern remix of The Invisible Man by HG Wells as a high-octane thriller. We follow Thomas, a naive student, who befriends an invisible man named Griffin. His friendship with Griffin brings him fame and fortune, friendship, but he is also exploited.
Told through multiple characters and angles, we fast-forward and rewind, and everything may not be quite what we think it is. Or is it? The question is whether Griffin really exists. And is he the violent monster people want us to believe?
Akimbo Theatre Company has taken HG Wells' story of misinformation, abuse of power and how it feels not to be seen by society, and recreated it for our digital age. The shape of the show reflects the fast pace of modern life, and not least; the way rumors take on a life of their own when they go viral.
And how do you actually play an invisible man in a believable and human way? Wait and see!
The show played to sold-out houses during last year's Showbox festival, and became an audience favorite.
The exciting story and the cool action scenes mixed with the possibility of interpretation make the show one of the coolest, maybe the coolest, show we've ever seen. " - Young Voices
The show is performed in English.
