Summary
Ken Hill has turned H.G. Wells's gripping novel into a music-hall romp, combining tongue-in-cheek humour with tragedy and magic. The sinister Griffin arrives in the village of Iping with a bandaged face and an unsociable manner. Was it really an accident that destroyed his face, or is he a criminal on the run? He takes off his gloves to reveal no hands and his bandages to reveal no head! Then the pranks, comic and malevolent, truly begin... Optional illusions available under licence.
