Jekyll & Hyde by A Slightly Isolated Dog
 

Kingston Arts presents Jekyll & Hyde from NZ based theatre company, A Slightly Isolated Dog

This April, Kingston Arts presents Jekyll & Hyde, a fast-paced, absurd, and laugh-out-loud version of the classic tale at the Shirley Burke Theatre. Brought to life by the award-winning theatre company A Slightly Isolated Dog, this sassy and interactive adaptation invites audiences to "bring your monster out to play" for an evening of comedy, chaos, and participation.

In this fresh take on the Jekyll & Hyde story, the contrasting attributes of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde take centre stage. Dr. Jekyll, the model of discipline and ethics faces off against Mr. Hyde, whose reckless and chaotic behaviour turns everything upside down. This performance playfully explores the tension between the self that conforms to social norms and the shadow self that longs to break free.

    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.

    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
