    About this ebook

    A life of fascination, obsession and deep scientific curiosity.
    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.
    Why does he hide himself away? What is his fascination with tunnels? Will he ever unearth the secrets hidden in his memory?
    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 combined their talents to co-produce Nick Wood’s stage adaptation of Mick Jackson’s Booker Prize shortlisted novel. The result is a free-flowing, innovative performance which features live music and a specially commissioned score.
    The Underground Man is a delectable blend of fact and fiction in which the intriguing details of a complex life are richly explored through the vibrant imagination of a gentle soul.
