We are taken back to Edinburgh, the nineteenth century, a world of shadows and invisible women...

THE DOCTOR’S HEALTH IS DETERIORATING, HIS FORMER RECKLESSNESS REPLACED BY RELIGOUS ZEAL.

What secret knowledge is the butler hiding, and who is the evasive and unpleasant new lab assistant, Mr Hyde?

EVENTS SOON TAKE A TURN FOR THE WORSE, WHEN LONG-CAGED DEVILS ARE EVENTUALLY UNLEASHED..

This new adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novella promises to be a physical blend of high energy and contemporary storytelling, featuring the novel’s famous characters, delivered by two actors.
