Wednesday 20th October 2010
Thornbury Musical Theatre Group present Jekyll and Hyde
7.30pm, with a 2.30pm matinee on the Saturday, Armstrong Hall, Thornbury

MURDER! MURDER! Well you will certainly witness one or two of those in “JEKYLL and HYDE” - but there’s lots more too! The musical is based on the novella by Robert Louis Stevenson (with a somewhat embellished story!).

Jekyll, a young doctor, is convinced of the duality of the human character and wishes to separate the two in order to attempt to release his father from the mental illness which is imprisoning him. Denied the opportunity to try his formula on another human, Jekyll decides to experiment on himself and Hyde is “born”!

Jekyll can, perhaps, be seen as a flawed genius; he is well-intentioned, but we all know where good intentions lead! As well as the familiar theme of conflicting good and evil the show has not one but two entwined “love” stories; Jekyll is engaged to the devoted Emma but also finds himself attracted to the prostitute Lucy whom he meets on his stag night. For her part Lucy is overwhelmed by Jekyll’s kindness when she turns to him when she is injured by Hyde and muses on what might be as she sings “If Someone Like You”; at the same time she finds herself both attracted to and repelled by Hyde.

Many twists and turns ensue with much drama, passion and pathos along the way, culminating in a dramatic climax - definitely a show not to be missed! The music is awe-inspiring with wonderful songs like “This is the Moment”; if you liked “Les Miserables” you will love “Jekyll and Hyde”!

Tickets are £9, £8 concession and on Wednesday 3 full price tickets for the price of 2, on the other performances buy 10 tickets get one free!
