Blackeyed Theatre are back and heading on tour with THE STRANGE CASE OF DR JEKYLL & MR HYDE

Bracknell based acclaimed touring company Blackeyed Theatre are heading back on tour with their sell-out production The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

Adapted by Nick Lane, this production is a thrilling reimagination of Louis Stevenson’s dark psychological fantasy that will tour across the country from September 2021 until May 2022. The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde will immerse its audiences in the myth and mystery of 19th century London. 

When Dr Jekyll’s experiment goes wrong, he suddenly gains a new companion, the brutal Edward Hyde. Nick Lane’s gripping adaptation draws on his own personal experience following his permanent bodily death due to a car accident. Lane imagines Jekyll as a physically weakened man who discovers a cure for his ailments, a cure that also unearths the darkest corners of his psyche.

This production combines ensemble storytelling, physical theatre, movement and Lane’s razor-sharp script, alongside a musical score by Tristan Parkes, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde remains true to the spirit and themes of the original story.

This classic Gothic tale will be performed by Blake Kubena in the titular roles, Zach Lee, Paige Round and Ashley Sean-Cook.
