The Hunchback of Notre Dame - BSL/English Interpreted October 28, 2006

THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME by Victor Hugo

a new adaptation by Niell Duffield

A powerful and evocative interpretation of Victor Hugo's epic romance which cemented his reputation as one of the world's greatest writers.

Paris, 1482. The cold, grey gargoyles of Notre Dame Cathedral cast their stony gazes upon a gothic city where, between the elite and wealthy church and the seedy, impoverished underworld, a compelling story of obsession, redemption and fierce love is about to unfold.

Esmerelda, a beautiful, bewitching gypsy; Frollo, an archdeacon tortured by passion; Pheobus, a dashing young captain; and Quasimodo, a mysterious disfigured man who makes the bells of Notre Dame sing out. Four seperate unsuspecting souls, whose lives become inextricably interwined as they find themselves the helpless prey of he all encompassing power of love.

This haunting new adaptation of this epic novel peels away the cracked layers of medieval Prisian society to expose both the inherent danger and the golious possibility of human desire.

£14.50 (concessions £10.50)
