Ropetackle Storytellers: Jekyll and Hyde

You’ve probably heard of Jekyll & Hyde, but do you actually know the story?

Utterson the Lawyer has a strange case on his hands. One involving blackmail, murder, and his close friend Doctor Henry Jekyll. Bit by bit, Utterson uncovers the grisly facts that link the celebrated doctor to the monstrous Mr Hyde. But the more he learns, the stranger the case becomes...

Award-winning performers Amelia Ace Armande and Joshua Crisp of the Ropetackle Storytellers bring to life Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic Gothic thriller, blending the original text with sinuous physicality, mesmerizing puppetry and dark humour. With its intimate, conversational style this tense production draws audiences deeper into the unfolding mystery.
