Dionysus Theatre

Touring UK Theatres from Autumn 2026

"Man is not truly one, but truly two."

London. 1888. The city is afraid.

In the gas-lit streets of Whitechapel, where the Jack the Ripper murders dominate the headlines, something else is stirring. A figure glimpsed in alleyways. A name whispered in drawing rooms. A presence described only as a "sneering Satan."

At the heart of it all stands the respected Dr Henry Jekyll- scientist, visionary, man of impeccable reputation. Engaged to be married. Three months from his wedding day. Obsessed with separating the darkness within the human soul from its better nature, he embarks on a dangerous experiment.

What he unleashes is Edward Hyde.

In a city already trembling with terror, no one is safe. Not even Jekyll himself.

Adapted and directed by Robert Tremayne, this bold reimagining of Stevenson's classic is brought to life by Dionysus Theatre's core ensemble of five actors (Robert Tremayne, Lauren Whedbee, Vicky Newman, David Upcraft and Kelly Verstappen) in a thrilling display of transformation and theatrical precision.

With striking steampunk design, an atmospheric original soundscape, and inventive doubling that creates a world far larger than its cast, The Curious Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde is a gripping psychological thriller that fuses gothic horror with the real terror of Ripper-era London, and a love story that refuses to look away from what love costs.

The papers will call him Jack. The doctor will call him a mistake. He calls himself Edward Hyde.

Catch me when you can.
