Jekyll & Hyde

OVADA Gallery - April - January 2026

Join us for a thrilling new adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Gothic masterpiece The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

Staged inside the haunting architecture of OVADA gallery, this new production draws audiences deep into Victorian London — into lamplit streets, locked laboratories, and the dark corners of the human soul.

Reviews

  • "Will Alder’s lighting is precise and varied, picking out each character’s appearances all over the sprawling set, with atmosphere added by the haze emitted from a single unobtrusive smoke machine. The whole thing is constantly inventive and engaging – as also in the occasional gentle interaction with members of the audience."
