2-11 October

R. L. Stevenson’s classic story dramatically reimagined with a female perspective

directed by Tanya Piejus

Venue: Cochran Hall, 106 Cashmere Ave

Synopsis

A series of random nocturnal assaults in the back streets and alleyways of Victorian London are spreading fear and panic. Meanwhile, the friends of a highly respected doctor are beginning to wonder why he goes missing on exactly the same nights…

In a bold new take on the Gothic novella Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, British playwright Neil Bartlett depicts the male world from the perspectives of three very different women. This inventive and brilliantly theatrical adaptation cuts right to the heart of Robert Louis Stevenson’s darkly fascinating tale of male violence, guilt and privilege.

How to book

When you click on ‘Book now!’ (here, at the top of the page, or below), you’ll go directly to our listing on the iTICKET website.

If you don’t already have an account with iTICKET you’ll need to create one by filling in their registration form. 

When you have booked, iTICKET will email your ticket/s to you. If you don’t receive the email, it means you haven’t completed the booking process. Keep the email for reference but it’s not needed at the venue, because we will tick you off on our list of attendees when you arrive.

Door sales

Online bookings for each performance close 3 hours before it begins. If a performance is not sold out by then, door sales are available from 30 minutes before a performance starts.

EFTPOS purchases are possible but, because internet service is somewhat unreliable in our Cashmere Avenue dead spot, you may find it less frustrating if you bring cash.

Block bookings

If you are organising a party of 10 or more, book early to be sure that seats are available.

If you make this booking through us instead of iTICKET, the organiser’s ticket is free. Email us at katbookings@gmail.com, for details as soon as you start planning your block booking. The bookings manager will ring you to discuss your payment and confirmation options.

Parking

There’s free parking in the surrounding streets but you may have to park some distance from the venue, so give yourself plenty of time.

Mobility access

There is parking for people with limited mobility on the hall forecourt. The entrance is between the hall and the pedestrian crossing. Access to the hall from the forecourt includes a ramp.

Refreshments

We have wine, orange juice, snacks and lollies for sale at the theatre from half an hour before the performance begins and during the interval. You can pay for these by EFTPOS but cash is quicker and more reliable. On opening night, we offer a free glass of wine/juice and nibbles.
