A thrilling adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s dark psychological fantasy, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde immerses you in the myth and mystery of 19th century London’s fog-bound streets where love, betrayal and murder lurk at every chilling twist and turn.
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde is adapted and directed by Nick Lane, who was Associate Director and Literary Manager at Hull Truck from 2006 to 2014, with original music composed by Tristan Parkes.
Nick Lane said:
“In this chaotic period in our history, the arts serve as an oasis of peace and I’m absolutely delighted to be working with Blackeyed again to bring autumn chills down the spines of any audience member with Jekyll and Hyde. It’s a timeless story that we’ve put into historical context, adding detail that will intrigue people who know the novel and those coming to it fresh”.
The production marks the company’s first live production since the COVID-19 outbreak.
