WINNER – Best Male Act (Solo Festival 2013)

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

Presented by Brother Wolf
Based on the novella by Robert Louis Stevenson
Adapted and Performed by James Hyland
Directed by Phil Lowe
Music by Chris Warner

During his final lecture on the duality of humankind, the respectable Dr Jekyll reveals his strange association with the mysterious Edward Hyde and the shocking truth about his identity: that Hyde, unlike other human beings, is not only fundamentally evil, but also the very definition of it. Combining edge-of-your-seat thrills with stunning physical theatre, Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic “bogey tale” is brought chillingly to life in this award-winning one-man show.
