Details

An exploration of the good and bad within us all in which Dr Jekyll develops drugs that separate out the good and evil in a man - his intention is to create pure good but the eveil takes over as the violent Mr Hyde. Meanwhile, death stalks the streets of London. In a reimagining of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale, this new version sees Victorian England merged with the modern day as it explores how the repression of female voices can be as prevalent today as it was in the 19th century. Confronting contemporary social issues such as identity, online personas, culpability and the right to protest, the production aims to bring education beyond the classroom and inspire students to engage with topical issues through the arts.
