First published in 1886, The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a mystery tale about the inexorable conflict between good and evil.

In this faithful adaptation Stevenson’s gripping narrative is brought vividly to life through a combination of powerful story-telling and masterful character creation.

Gabriel John Utterson is Henry Jekyll’s lawyer and most trusted friend. Deeply concerned by a strange clause in his friend’s will, Utterson feels compelled to investigate the sinister Edward Hyde – Jekyll’s unlikely protégé.

Convinced that Jekyll and Hyde’s relationship is founded on blackmail, Utterson embarks on a quest to learn more, but – as he does so – he finds the truth to be far worse than he could have ever imagined.

A compelling solo show based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic Victorian novella.

Stratford Productions was set up in 2019 by actor/writer Mark Stratford to produce and tour his solo plays. At present these are: The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (adapted from the novella of the same name by Robert Louis Stevenson) and Macready! Dickens Theatrical Friend (which tells the fascinating story of the great 19th Century actor-manager, Macready). Both shows are currently being staged at various venues around the UK until summer 2024. As an actor Mark has appeared in West End shows, national and foreign tours, repertory seasons and pantomimes, as well as small parts in Film, TV and Radio.
