A creative retelling of Victor Hugo’s Notre Dame de Paris, Hunchback follows the story of Gringoire, a poet who becomes ensnared in the destructive lives of the characters around him. He, together with a mysterious and roguish women known only as C, relates the sorry tale of Quasimodo, the deaf and deformed bell ringer of Notre Dame and his devotion to the beautiful gypsy dancer Esmeralda. In a story so full of obsession, shame and deceit however can we really believe what we are being told? Who is truly to blame for the inevitable tragic conclusions?

Biggest liars of them all aren’t they, writers…and poets. They could take any story, twist it, print it and stick to it and so long as there’s no-one left to disprove it they can continue to hide behind it…’
