'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.

Quite an ambitious show for 6th formers, with lots of enthusiasm, movement and puppetry which I thought flowed quite well considering the scope for messing it up. Strong performances from Gus, and also the Detective, and the girlfriend who talked too much!. The "cross boss" worked hard and I worried he would blow a gasket. I never like us limeys doing the American Accent, but the show was fun. Thanks.
