'Hyde and seek for melodrama in old Solihull'

Birmingham Press. Posted by Debbie Hemming- 23rd April 2010

Solihull Theatre Company takes to the stage once again
next month for the powerful musical Jekyll & Hyde.

The show, adapted from Robert Louis Stevenson’s book, tells the story of Dr Henry Jekyll who believes he can separate the dual elements of good and evil which exist in every human being.

He experiments on himself and transforms into the terrifying Edward Hyde, wreaking havoc on 19th century London.

As Dr Jekyll, he is engaged to the upper-class Emma Carew but as Hyde he forms an intense but doomed relationship with girl of the night Lucy Harris.

The show includes a performance of a song ‘Girls of the Night’ which although included in the Broadway version of the show requires a separate licence for amateur productions.

The show is at Solihull Arts Complex from 11-15 May and tickets can be obtained from the box office on 0121 704 6962 or by visiting the society’s updated website, www.solihull-theatre.co.uk.
