Jekyll & Hyde

Award-winning performers Amelia Ace Armande and Joshua Crisp reanimate the classic Gothic thriller by Robert Louis Stevenson. Blending the original text with sinuous physicality, dark humour and clever prop puppetry, they morph seamlessly between characters, and conjure up the misty, murky streets of Stevenson’s Victorian London.

Utterson the lawyer has a strange case on his hands. One involving blackmail, murder most foul – and his close friend Doctor Henry Jekyll.

On the surface, it seems as though Doctor Jekyll & Mr Hyde couldn’t be more different from one another. But there is a dark secret that binds the two men together. One that Utterson cannot get to the bottom of…

In this tense two-hander, through snatches of conversation, interview and confession, we uncover the grisly facts that link the celebrated doctor to the monstrous Mr Hyde. But in this fantastical narrative, what can possibly be the truth?
