FOR TICKETS PLEASE FOLLOW THIS LINK https://www.theassemblyrooms.org/event-details/curious-case-of-jekyll-hyde-2026-10-22-19-00 October 2026 — just in time for Halloween — horror is reborn in the spectacular Assembly Rooms Newcastle as part of the venue’s landmark 250th-anniversary celebrations.
From Craig Wilde, Writer and Executive Producer — the acclaimed creator behind the sell-out sensations Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus and Dickens by Candlelight – A Christmas Carol — comes a bold and unsettling new adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Curious Case of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde.
Directed by multi-award-winning Jake Murray, this intensely intimate, in-the-round production draws you terrifyingly close to a world of desire, obsession, and the monstrous alter-ego clawing to break free.
Produced by Louise Dearden and Filipe Neves Ribeiro, with costumes by Abby Wilkinson and a hauntingly atmospheric set realised by Amelia Mitchell, this thrilling new staging promises a visceral theatrical experience where no audience member is safe from the shadows.
