The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde at The Attic Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon
The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde in Stratford-upon-Avon brings Robert Louis Stevenson’s chilling gothic classic to life in the intimate surroundings of The Attic Theatre, immersing audiences in a tense, shadowy world where respectability and brutality collide.
What to Expect
This theatrical adaptation stays true to the dark heart of the original novella, transporting you to the fog-bound streets of Victorian London. At its centre is the deeply unsettling transformation of the courteous and compassionate Dr Henry Jekyll into his violent, predatory alter ego, Mr Edward Hyde.
As Jekyll’s secret experiments to separate the “good” and “evil” in human nature spiral beyond his control, the production probes the duality within us all. Expect an atmosphere thick with suspense: dimly lit scenes, creeping tension, and sudden moments of shock designed to keep you on edge.
The Attic Theatre’s close-up staging heightens the intensity, placing the audience just a heartbeat away from Jekyll’s unraveling mind and Hyde’s terrifying presence. Themes and scenes are deliberately unsettling, making this a gripping choice for fans of psychological horror, gothic literature, and spine-tingling theatre.
