About the show
Jekyll and Hyde is a theatre adaptation by Muchmuchmore Theatre, a student/youth company, performed at theSpace @ Venue 45, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2026. The show is a radical re-imagining of Stevenson's classic tale, beginning not with Dr Jekyll but with his wife, Harriet, who continues his work and explores the duality of the soul. The production connects Victorian morality with modern feminist issues, asking what it costs to achieve social change — and whether everyone has a Hyde inside them. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for ages 14 and over.
Why see this show?
Beginning with Dr Jekyll's wife rather than Jekyll himself, this ensemble piece finds fresh urgency in a familiar story. It asks how social change is won and at what cost — a gripping, timely question in a 60-minute drama with real ambition.
