Featuring a cast of over twenty actors and musicians, Lung Ha Theatre Company and Drake Music Scotland bring to life Morna Pearson's dramatic re-working of the classic story, by Robert Louis Stevenson. Relocated to the divided city of Stevenson's birth, this is Edinburgh's story of the darkness and the light.
Wry, intelligent and deceptively sophisticated in exploring afresh Stevenson’s notions of dual character, Lung Ha offer a classy and invigorating production, demonstrating their mastery in presenting a show of both light and darkness.
Watching these companies in action is exciting and inspirational - catch them while you can.
Lung Ha Theatre Company works here with Drake Music Scotland to achieve its usual impressive production standard.
This production, directed by Caitlin Skinner, proves that art has no boundaries, not even for the disabled: it is an exemplary piece of theatre, one that will surely be enjoyed by all those who see it.
