An eerie and haunting tale, THE INVISIBLE MAN follows the tale of a mad scientist named Griffin, who discovers the power of invisibility, thanks to a serum with dangerous side effects.

As Griffin is slowly driven mad he is pursued by his one-time mentor, Dr. Kemp, to the isolated village of Iping where he terrorizes the local townsfolk.

Herbert George Wells was a literary giant of English literature and considered one of the foremost thinkers of his time. He is considered the father of modern social science fiction, a sub-genre dealing with the effects of technology upon mankind and civilization.

His hallmark works include The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine and THE INVISIBLE MAN, a cautionary tale that demonstrates the folly of science taken to extremes.

Adapted for the stage by Wayne Mitchell, THE INVISIBLE MAN features some of Anchorage’s most critically acclaimed actors including Leif Sawyer as the town Doctor, Jim Howard as the Reverand Bunting, Dana Fahrney as the Reverend's wife and Mitchell himself as the title character.

Aric Hudson and Hailey Faust appear as the young ing?nues whose courtship is threatened by the appearance of the mysterious stranger.

Though still in high school, these young actors have appeared in numerous theatrical productions throughout Anchorage.

Award winning actor, director and playwright Shane Mitchell directs.
