This winter, enter a world of chills and thrills with two fantastically imaginative productions from Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.
Experience Evan Placey’s edge-of-your-seat adaptation Jekyll & Hyde at Tobacco Factory Theatres. Refined and repressed Victorian lady Hattie Jekyll decides to continue her late husband’s dangerous research, with strange consequences. Whispers of the 21st century soon distort her timeline and world. Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novella, this radical reimagining brings the Gothic tale bang up to date.
Dates: 4 – 11 Nov
Venue: Tobacco Factory Theatres, Bedminster
Tickets from £10 each / Suitable for ages 12+

Filled with catchy songs, humour, and emotion, this production promises to capture your imagination. But beware – not all bedtime stories have happy endings!
