The National Theatre is touring Evan Placey's Jekyll & Hyde, a radical reimagining of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale, to state secondary schools nationwide until 1st April 2022.

Directed by Kirsty Housley, the 7-week tour will be watched by over 10,500 students, as the NT resumes school touring for the first time since 2019. In partnership with local theatres, the production will be seen by students in Hornchurch, Wakefield, Doncaster, Sunderland, Wolverhampton and Salford, Rochdale and Wigan in Greater Manchester.

In a mash up of Victorian England and the modern day, the play explores how the repression of female voices is as prevalent in the 19th century as it is today. The cast includes Paksie Vernon, Lucy Elizabeth Thorburn, Huw Parmenter, Wesley Bozonga, Stuart Reid, Jasmeen James, Asha Kingsley and Russell Layton.

The production is designed by Amanda Stoodley with sound design by Ben Grant and LX design by Joshua Pharo.
