AN EVOCATIVE tale of the epic battle between good and evil, Jekyll & Hyde is based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story about a brilliant doctor whose experiments with human personality create a murderous counterpart.

Convinced that the cure for his father’s mental illness lies in the separation of man’s evil nature from his good, Dr Henry Jekyll unwittingly unleashes his own dark side, wreaking havoc in the streets of Victorian London as the savage, maniacal Edward Hyde.

With modern classics such as A New Life, In His Eyes and This Is The Moment, Jekyll & Hyde is a gothic masterpiece of musical theatre.

It’s presented by Southampton Musical Society at Theatre Royal Winchester from Wednesday to Saturday.
