Dark humour meets Gothic suspense in this inventive, fast-paced retelling of Stevenson’s classic tale.

Step into the fog-shrouded streets of Victorian London for a thrilling and darkly comic reimagining of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde.

Award-winning performers Amelia Ace Armande and Joshua Crisp bring this Gothic classic vividly to life, seamlessly transforming between characters through dynamic physical theatre, sharp wit and inventive prop puppetry.

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?

Book now for an unforgettable evening of mystery, mischief and Gothic intrigue.
