Broadway Theatre, Eastcheap, Letchworth Garden City, SG6 3DD
Fri 1st May 2020
Times: 1.30pm & 7.30pm
A show that stays true to the original tale whilst embracing the comedic magic of theatre in a hilarious fast paced spin! Full of unexpected highs and lows, quick costume changes and sharp wit, enjoy this classic novella as one wild ride that will leave you breathless and helpless with laughter.
Set against the backdrop of a charity organisation, the Catherstone Risdake Amateur Players, attempting to extort donations from their adoring local community to raise funds for lavish sets, high profile actors and a 'business trip' to the Bahamas. See how they creatively tell the tale of Dr. Henry Jekyll who believes there are two distinct sides to man - a good and an evil. Journey with this experimental scientist as he fashions a controversial concoction that transforms him, not only into an evil man, but a vile monster!
A comedy with all the drama left in!more...
