A compelling solo show based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic Victorian novella comes to Ventnor Fringe Festival this year.
‘The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’ is a mystery tale about the inexorable conflict between good and evil.
Gripping narrative brought vividly to life
In this faithful adaptation Stevenson’s gripping narrative is brought vividly to life through a combination of powerful story-telling and masterful character creation.
Gabriel Utterson is Henry Jekyll’s lawyer and most trusted friend. Deeply concerned by a strange clause in his friend’s will, Utterson feels compelled to investigate the sinister Edward Hyde – Jekyll’s unlikely protégé.
Convinced that Jekyll and Hyde’s relationship is founded on blackmail, Utterson embarks on a quest to learn more but, as he does so, he finds the truth to be far worse than he could have ever imagined…
