jekyll & hyde
BY A SLIGHTLY ISOLATED DOG
17-21 JUNE
About
HotHouse Theatre presents
Comedy. Thrills. Chaos. Delight.
Meet the most delightfully evil man alive, Mr
Hyde. A man so evil he punches the cleaning
lady, drop-kicks a precious puffin and yells
‘shark’ at the beach.
This mad-cap rendition of Jekyll & Hyde
celebrates the darkness within us all. A
completely reworked version of Robert Louis
Stevenson’s novella, this terrifyingly hilarious
theatre-comedy comes at last to seduce and
delight HotHouse audiences.
Jekyll is a man who washes and separates his
recycling AND puts it in the correct bin. Hyde is
the man who uses the last of the toilet roll and
never replaces it, who drains the shared flat
account to buy cigarettes and never, ever calls
you by your given name. Who does that? Who is
this mad man?!
The company swoop back to Australia like a
long-lost friend, full of the most outrageous
stories of morality, mortality and mayhem.
A Slightly Isolated Dog have built a reputation
for shaking up well-known stories and injecting
their trademark outrageous physical comedy
and twisted pop songs to the telling. Focused on
removing the barriers between audiences and
performers and revelling in the silliness of their
stories, these fast, furious and irreverently saucy
performances are Theatre with the Lights On.
