Jekyll and Hyde to be staged in Wimborne

Are we all good or wholly bad? Is it nature or nurture? These questions are in the thoughts of Dr Jekyll as he completes his medical rounds. Meanwhile in London Town, one Mr Hyde is wreaking havoc: murdering, beating and living in debauchery in Soho. Gentlemen of a certain class are saying nothing, but are they even safe from Hyde? And why does Jekyll’s name keep being linked with his? It will take brave, female, enquiring minds to seek the justice in this mystery — but it is 1886, will anyone listen to them?

Locally written, this dark play gets new life at the Tivoli Theatre in Wimborne.

Directed by Shelly Barter, this amateur production of ‘Jekyll & Hyde’ by arrangement with Nick Hern Books is being performed by Wimborne Drama Productions from 16 to 18 October.
