REVIEW: Jekyll & Hyde and Nerve (Double Bill), Greenwich Theatre ✭✭✭

Jekyll and Hyde - Nerve Double Bill

Brilliantly well-written dialogue is always great to hear, especially when delivered with cut-glass panache as by this super quartet: in addition to the author, we have Lee Comley, Jack Govan and Kate Novak making up the set. These well-observed stories of contemporary urban life, unified by dozens of parallels, feature sequences of extremely confidently constructed situations, voiced economically and brightly with the argot, idioms, banter and attitudes of today, yet given heightened and bizarre intensity through their dramatic compression of extreme situations.
