Big Brum Presents 'Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde' Touring Schools from January to April 2025

Dr JEKYLL AND Mr HYDE Adapted by Chris Cooper

“My devil had been long caged; he came out roaring

“ Have you ever hidden your feelings? Can you truly hide them forever?

Stevenson wrote his story in 1886 but it has continued to resonate profoundly for audiences, taking hold of our imaginations. Big Brum’s production of ‘Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’ is a powerful drama, rich in imagery that illuminates the themes at the heart of Stevenson’s complex text. Themes such as identity, good and evil, love and hate, knowledge and ethics, power and responsibility, justice and what makes us human. What lurks beneath the surface of all of us?

“The man trampled calmly over the child’s body and left her screaming on the ground. It sounds nothing to hear, but it was hellish to see”.

However hard you try to hide your feelings; you can never truly hide them forever.

Big Brum’s ‘Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’ provides teachers with a creative stimulus for delivery across the curriculum:

English: A powerful exploration of the text and its themes, especially for those using the classic story as an English Literary Heritage Text at GCSE, or as a stimulus for Speaking and Listening assessment or genre-based activity in both GCSE and A’ Level English Language and Literature.

Citizenship and PHSE: A creative framework for young people exploring issues of concern to them, including Identity, Responsibility, Social Justice and Rights, providing space for meaningful dialogue and reflecting on values, choices and actions.

Religious Studies: A dynamic stimulus for the study of Identity, Ethics and Philosophy, opening up the concepts of prejudice, good and evil, knowledge and ignorance, and encouraging students to explore the question ‘What makes us human?’

Drama: World-class theatre for young people, ideal for the study of a live production, or from Drama and Performing Arts students working on Theatre-in-Education, playwriting for young audiences or new adaptations for theatre.
