George Fletcher embodies the Creature with sinuous movement and anguished expression with no need for extra make-up.
Jekyll & Hyde is confronting in many ways and squarely raises the question of where the line is drawn between unpleasant, complicit voyeurism and involving theatre. Even if you don’t care for Clifford’s version of the tale, something about it will haunt you. Disturbing and confrontational, but also thought-provoking.
