A LIFE of obsession and deep scientific curiosity is explored in The Underground Man at The Courtyard on Tuesday, October 18.
William Cavendish-Scott-Bentinck is an eccentric Nottinghamshire aristocrat whose imagination and curiosity know no bounds. This deceptively simple man struggles to come to terms with a world that is teeming with new knowledge, ill-founded opinion and gossip. In a sequence of events that are often curious and frequently hilarious he reveals moments of surprising perception and wisdom.
Nottingham Playhouse and ajtc have co-produced this stage adaptation of Mick Jackson’s Booker Prize shortlisted novel, which features live music and a specially commissioned score.
