CREATION Theatre has announced its first show of 2013 after recently raising enough money to keep running.
The St Clement’s-based theatre company will be putting on a one-man show of Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous tale of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
It will be taking place in June at Blackwell’s underground Norrington Room at its Broad Street store.
Blackwells deputy manager Zool Verjee said: “Many people, both staff and customers, revere the majesty of the Norrington Room. It really is one of the most magnificent rooms of books in the world and the opportunity to invite people in to enjoy this very special space is something which always appeals.
“Creation is becoming a bit of a fixture in our calendar and a great many of us are looking forward with anticipation to the emergence of Mr Hyde from behind the bookshelves.”
Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde tells the tale of Dr Henry Jekyll who transforms into the evil Edward Hyde.
Creation has also launched a “sponsor a seat” campaign to help it raise funds.
