🎭 Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde | The Body Snatcher - Northumberland Theatre (NTC)

🎭 We're delighted to welcome back to Duns Volunteer Hall the Northumberland Theatre Company. Join us for an unforgettable evening of gothic theatre and let the haunting tales of Robert Louis Stevenson transport you to a realm of suspense and intrigue.

We start in the captivating and mesmerising world of "Jekyll and Hyde" in this this spine-chilling masterpiece that's enthralled audiences with its gothic and atmospheric allure. Adapted by award-winning writer Stewart Howson and brought to life by director Alice Byrne, experience physical theatre at its finest as the tale of duality and inner darkness unfolds on stage, gripping you with its intensity and leaving you on the edge of your seat.

Complementing the eerie world of "Jekyll and Hyde", the double bill presents "The Body Snatcher", adapted by Philip Harrison.

Likely inspired by the real-life exploits of the infamous grave robbers Burke and Hare. this is a parable about the horrors of science and how scientific experimentation, when void of compassion and humanity, becomes a dark art - a philosophical treatise as alarming as Crime and Punishment, as compelling as Paradise Lost, and as chilling as Frankenstein.

Both plays draw from the macabre genius of Robert Louis Stevenson, inviting you into a world where the line between humanity and monstrosity blurs.

Doors: 7pm. Performance: 7:30pm
Duration: Approx. 95 minutes with a 15 minute interval
