Dickens Theatre Company brings to the stage an adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's gothic thriller, set in the fog of London in 1888.
Dickens Theatre Company bring Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde to the Devonshire Park Theatre on Friday 5 March, as part of their Revision On Tour programme. It's a stage adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's gothic thriller, and the company sets it in the fog of London in 1888, so the Victorian atmosphere is right at the front of it.
If you know the story, you know the one: the doctor who splits himself in two, the struggle between the respectable man and the darker side he lets loose. It's a classic for a reason, and seeing it played out on stage gives it a different weight than reading it on the page. The 1888 London setting puts it right in the era of the Ripper and the gas-lit streets, which fits the mood of the whole thing.

It's a matinee, so it's one you can catch in the middle of the day rather than waiting for the evening. The performance starts at 1:00 pm, and tickets go from £34. If you've got a free Friday afternoon in Eastbourne, it's a good one to keep on the radar.
