Pretty pictures, clever tricks… but where does art end and illusion begin?
Join magician Chris Cook as he unravels a true story that threads together an artist, a master forger and a magician. Three lives. Three centuries. One extraordinary chain of deception.
A mesmerising tale of beauty, belief and the magic of being fooled.

The classic drama Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, presented by 'Isosceles Theatre'

An experiment to separate virtue from wickedness in his own nature results in the respectable Doctor Jekyll releasing the demon within; a malevolent force which will eventually possess him body and soul. Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic story has enthralled and fascinated the world for more than a hundred years. Perhaps because a Mr Hyde lurks deep within us all, watching… and waiting…

Based on the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson

Here's what The Scotsman says about this production from Isosceles Theatre:
‘Impressive…fine style….the result is a good, vivid, popular version of a great story, told with notable passion…As Jekyll and Hyde adaptations go, Patrick Prior’s 70 minute two-hander is short, to the point and rewritten in brisk everyday language.’
