   OCT        DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE
   2019       THURS 3rd OCT 7PM
              Recommended for ages 12+ 60mins
              +post show talk
During his final lecture on the duality of
humankind, the respectable Dr Jekyll reveals his
strange association with the mysterious Edward
Hyde and the shocking truth about his identity:
that Hyde, unlike other human beings, is not only
fundamentally evil, but also the very definition of
it. Combining edge-of-your-seat thrills with
stunning physical theatre, Stevenson's classic
"bogey tale" is brought chillingly to life in this
award-winning one-man show.

The only Bee Gees tribute show to have
performed with the original Bee Gees! As with the
original Bee Gees, Jive Talkin’ is very much a
family affair, with brothers Gary & Darren
Simmons taking the roles of Barry & Maurice Gibb,
with Darren’s son Jack joining the group in 2014
and taking on the role of Robin Gibb. The guys are
supported musically by a four piece band with
Lead Guitar, Violin, Cello and Drums, to ensure
that every note in every song is just right! A great
opportunity to hear all the great Bee Gees hits;
Tragedy, Night Fever, Massachusetts, Stayin Alive,
Jive Talkin, etc, in a 2 hour explosion of music and
vocal harmony, this is a night not to be missed!
