Date/Time

Wednesday 9 October 2024 - 18.45 - 20.15

Location

Aldridge Theatre, Frensham Heights School

This is part of the Frensham Heights GCSE series, but is also open to the general public. The one-hour show is comprised of key scenes interspersed with discussion and analysis, providing a unique insight into a curriculum text in a single hour – perfect as an introduction or a revision aid. This event is open to GCSE students from all schools, but everyone is welcome.

This production follows Mr Hyde’s reign of terror: his brutal treatment of a young girl, his crazed murder of a Member of Parliament, and the strange feeling of horror he generates in all who meet him. It also follows Dr Jekyll’s absolute refusal to change the terms of his will, leaving everything to Mr Hyde in the circumstances of his, Jekyll’s, “disappearance”. All of this is regarded by Mr Utterson as a mystery that needs to be solved.
