In a city this crooked, it sure helps to blend in with the crowd'. Blabbermouth Theatre presents a finger-clicking film-noir-styled revamp of the H G Wells novel, using empty-clothes puppetry, a live jazz soundtrack and heavy poetic license to retell this story as an entertaining pulp narrative of dames and invisible private eyes. The Victorian 'first-person account' narrative meets its reincarnation in the gritty narrative voice of the gumshoe detective, as made famous by writers like Raymond Chandler and films such as Sunset Boulevard and Double Indemnity.
