Synopsis: | Stand-up comedian Gringoire arrives in Paris and learns to his distress that he has a double - a hunchback who terrorizes the neighbourhood around Notre Dame. Dom Frollo, a sinister priest, is the only one who can control the creature. Despite his vows of chastity Frollo falls in love with the beautiful gypsy girl Esmeralda, but when the hunchback takes her prisoner the poor people of Paris, led by Fifi, queen of the beggars, rise up and attack the cathedral. The carnage which ensues with everyone dying is halted by a mysterious fairy gargoyle, who reverses time - and the whole climax of the play is performed backwards (words and all) until a point is reached where it can go forwards once more - this time to the happy ending that Hugo never came up with. | |||||
