The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

This classic tale grips the audience, just as a good detective story should. Our production is the ultimate, entertaining aid to learning and exam preparation as it follows the story in sequence as it appears in the novella, unlike all the available film versions. We follow Mr Hyde’s reign of terror: his brutal treatment of a young girl, his crazed murder of a Member of Parliament, and the strange feeling of horror he generates in all who meet him. It also follows Dr Jekyll’s absolute refusal to change the terms of his will, leaving everything to Mr Hyde in the circumstances of his, Jekyll’s, “disappearance”. All of this is regarded by Mr Utterson as a mystery that needs to be solved.

All our actors play multiple roles, keeping the action exciting and dynamic. Using our tested dramatic devices we ensure that the story is clearly delivered and that themes and context are thoroughly explored.

‘The performances were exceptional, each was superb: with fantastic acting; wonderful contextual information; key moments lifted from the text to help remember quotations; and pitched to ensure all were able to take something from it. Jekyll and Hyde is not a high action story and is very difficult but it was a captivating, useful and highly successful piece of theatre. I cannot tell you how impressed we all were and the praise from students and staff alike was constant and unequivocal.’ Chancellor’s School, October 2024
