EDINBURGH 2019: BWW Review: JEKYLL VS HYDE, PBH'S Free Fringe @ Voodoo Rooms
by Amy Hanson - August 10, 2019
In Jekyll vs Hyde, a free musical comedy now playing at the Voodoo Rooms, Laurence is a serious composer, working on a one-man musical adaptation of Stevenson's classic work. It's high art he believes, much elevated by the noble tradition of sock puppetry enabling him to play all of the parts. His wife and disgruntled stage hand, Lindsay thinks it's all a bit boring, especially compared to the cheesy, bells-and-whistles, Broadway-bound adaptation they had crafted together once upon a time.
