Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story has enthralled and fascinated the world for more than a hundred years. Perhaps because a Mr Hyde lurks deep within us all, watching… and waiting…

Based on the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson

Reviews

‘Impressive…fine style….the result is a good, vivid, popular version of a great story, told with notable passion…As Jekyll and Hyde adaptations go, Patrick Prior’s 70 minute two-hander is short, to the point and rewritten in brisk everyday language.’               

– THE SCOTSMAN

‘Stylistic…forensic examination of man’s addiction to playing the bad lad….Abernethy and Marsden make a great stab at Prior’s gradually unfolding text. Every emotional nuance is wrung out of it, and a packed audience sit rapt at such conversely dark materials’
