Critics Review
‘Satisfyingly creepy… Neil Bartlett’s adaptation is a bold one, emphasising themes of male power and privilege… it’s eerily engaging’
* The Stage *‘Lays bare the rot at the heart of a beastly boys’ club… this is a Jekyll and Hyde with all the Victorian creepiness you’d expect, but it is also a bitter commentary on the “slow cancer of disgrace” that eats away at a closed male society’ * Guardian *‘A clever interpretation… eerily sinister… retains some of Stevenson’s classic lines and speaks to a contemporary audience… admirably succeeds on a number of levels’
