A one-man stage adaptation of the classic tale of terror, with actor Jonathan Goodwin playing both Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde.
Jekyll & Hyde comes to The Broadbent Theatre on Wednesday 11 November, a one-man stage adaptation of the classic tale of terror. It's the story we all know — Dr Jekyll's experiments unleash his darker half, Mr Hyde, and the two spend the rest of the play fighting for control of the same man. The whole thing is set in Victorian London, and the company behind it is Don't go into the Cellar!
What makes this version stand out is that it's a one-man show. Acclaimed actor Jonathan Goodwin plays both Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde, so the battle between the two happens on stage in real time, with one person switching between the roles. It's a small cast for a big story, and it puts the focus right on that central struggle.
Goodwin didn't just act in it; he wrote the script himself and co-directed the production with Gary Archer. Having the same person write the lines and then step into both roles gives the whole thing a particular kind of focus, and it's a good bit of work to see a local production taking on a story this well-known.
