THE INVISIBLE MAN Directed by: Tom Cocklin
Assistant Director: TBD
Executive Producer: TBD

THE STORY: The Invisible Man: A Live Radio Play, written by H.G. Wells and adapted by John de Lancie, is set in a small English village. 

The story follows a mysterious, bandaged stranger who arrives under the cloak of secrecy only to reveal a horrifying power: he is completely invisible. 

As his sinister plans unfold, the townspeople face a chilling mix of suspense, horror, and dark humor. 

With live sound effects and dynamic performances, this play recreates the suspense of radio's golden age while exploring themes of power, isolation, and madness.
