SYNOPSIS

 
The classic chiller exploring the duality of the inner self; the ID and the ego, the devil inside. Keeping very closely to Robert Louis Stevenson's Victorian tale of the dark side, and the wonders of science, this play uses a minimal set of 'doors and a lab bench' to recreate the fog and horror of unfolding tragedy. Could be played by a cast of 4 or 5 (to display their acting range) as they take on 11 parts between them. Ideal for GCSE or GCE groups, with songs and physical theatre - notably, the metamorphosis moments- written in.
