Calling all English students, teachers, and lovers of classic literature!
Dickens Theatre Company’s acclaimed stage adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Gothic thriller returns to Southend in February 2026.
London, 1888. A thick Fitzrovia fog cloaks the city. In the shadows, a sinister figure stalks the streets. A young child is brutally attacked. Who is this “sneering Satan” and will he strike again?
A cast of just six actors brings Stevenson’s chilling tale to life in a fast-paced, theatrical production that captures the dark heart of Victorian London.
This gripping adaptation is part of DTC’s 'Revision on Tour', touring alongside Macbeth. Tailored to support GCSE study, the production highlights key characters, quotes, and themes, making it ideal for students and compelling for literature fans alike.
Post-matinee Q&A with the cast and director available on request.
"At last! DTC have finally given GCSE students the stage adaptation of Jekyll & Hyde we’ve all been crying out for. The characters, the key quotes, Stevenson’s London… leapt from the page. The kids loved it."
