The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde

★★★★

“ a taut psychological drama that is both true to the period whilst remaining vivid and accessible to contemporary viewers…

New to the show is the impressive Blake Kubena as both Jekyll and Hyde. He was well-cast, both physically and for his nuanced interpretation. He cuts quite a thrilling dash as the ‘twisted’ scientist who transforms in a moment into the utterly amoral Hyde

FULL REVIEW

At the very centre of the production is an outstanding portrayal. Jack Bannell measures the descent from curious scientist to raving, raging murderer with absolute perfection. Sit anywhere near the front of the stalls, and you see the sweat glisten, the limbs shake and the wild eyes grow wilder. It is exhausting just to watch. Among portrayals of madness, from Lear to Woyzeck and beyond, Bannell’s Edward Hyde is genuinely up alongside them, and it makes for gripping theatre
