THE highly acclaimed Hull Truck Theatre is bringing their production of the chilling thriller The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde to Pershore tomorrow.

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson is a classic tale of good and evil.

Doctor Henry Jekyll is a good man, successful in his field and respected by his peers.

Jekyll’s work is cutting-edge but the way he gets results is less than ethical. Faced with the prospect of having his methods exposed to the world, the good doctor is forced to experiment on himself with life-changing consequences.

Jekyll wills his entire fortune to a new “friend”, the brutal Edward Hyde. Responsible for the murder of innocent people and a reign of terror on the streets of London, Jekyll is forced with a decision. How will he control Hyde and what will his ultimate legacy be?

Director Nick Lane said: “Stevenson’s story is just brilliant and, whilst staying true to the original, we’ve tried to give it a bit of a twist.

“In this version, Jekyll is a medical pioneer and a genius, fascinated by the duality of good and evil in the human mind – particularly his own – but he has a dark side, and his experiments yield results he could never have bargained for.”

The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde will be at Number 8 Community Arts Centre at 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £15, friends of Number 8 £14, Students/16 & under £12 from the box office on 01386 555488.
