Theatre review: The Invisible Man – Northern Stage, Newcastle

First published in The Times, Monday February 7 2022

THREE STARS

Anna Girvan’s production for Northern Stage features a protagonist named Griffin, a character called Herbert George and another with a bandaged face, but the nods to HG Wells and his science fiction classic end there. The 1897 novella is only a jumping-off point for a contemporary meditation on social invisibility in its various forms.
