Robert Louis
Stevenson's classic moral tale Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde has
secured its place in popular culture, but few people are familiar with the
original short story. Given the current trend for all things Victoriana,
including the burgeoning “steam punk” sub-culture, it's the perfect time to
revive and re-appraise this Gothic masterpiece!
This new
adaptation from Four of Swords
aspires to be as faithful as possible to the original, whilst providing scope
for exciting multi-media storytelling. To this end the spectacular show mixes:
- THEATRE!
Remarkable performances from talented local actors - FILM!
Stylish original short films shot around some of - MUSIC!
Rollicking gypsy tunes composed especially for the show and performed live.
Performances take place inside
the majestic but crumbling Poltimore House; a significant Devon
landmark, historically and architecturally and one that has a prominent place
in Devon ’s culture. A percentage of the shows ticket
sales will go towards the restoration fund of this beautiful estate.
Audiences will follow the action
as it unfolds within the chambers of the house and will encounter new
characters at every turn. Numbers are limited to thirty per show to ensure it
remains an intimate and exciting theatre experience so early booking is
recommended.
