‘The story of Jekyll and Hyde is a proven crowd puller but this all-action production is a masterpiece of drama, comedy, slapstick and amazingly energetic performances from the superb cast of just four. It’s high-powered from the opening scene and never relents.  The setting is a London pub, and the innovations and sound effects created from the traditional fixtures and fittings are quite stunning.  There is so much to absorb and enjoy.’  – The Stage

European Arts Company invites you on a trip down the smoggy, gaslit alleyways of Victorian London to hear ‘The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde’.  Set in a tavern in 1888, a versatile ensemble cast will re-enact this classic tale using only the things you would find in a pub!  Creating the physical world of Victorian London with great ingenuity, wit and imagination, the show is a thrilling, chilling and highly entertaining reinvention of this classic tale.  This show comes to the King’s Head fresh from a 40 date UK tour.

 Cast: William Hartley, Richard Latham, Jennifer Bryden & Arthur James

‘The actor who carries the weight of the show is William Hartley in the title roles. His Jekyll is all purse-lipped, elbow-buttoned, tied-kneed Scottish rectitude. His Hyde is flamboyant in a scarlet waistcoat with hat at a jaunty angle and wielding his sword-stick with deadly effect. It’s a bravura performance on anyone’s terms…’ – WhatsonStage

‘European Arts Company really takes the audience by storm.  A surreal performance, witty and hilarious, full of energy, talent and creativity.’ - Culture Guide

‘The cast have almost as much fun as the audience.  European Arts Company provides sheer entertainment but also an excellent opportunity for seeing high-quality live theatre.’ – International Herald Tribune
