A spectacle that transcends the boundaries of circus.

Australia-based contemporary circus company Casus Creations probes the transformative power of human connection in their mesmerizing stage show Apricity.

Jekyll and Hyde

Posted on by Alter

Jekyll and Hyde

Created and Performed by A Slightly Isolated Dog

M – Recommended for audiences 15 and older

Bring your monster out to play.

A Slightly Isolated Dog’s production of Jekyll and Hyde is a spicy telling of a classic gothic story.

Raucous, irreverent, and delightfully absurd, Jekyll & Hyde uses the mayhem of theatre, music, and comedy to celebrate the darkness within us all.

 

“Thrilling, charming, shockingly good comedy, A Slightly Isolated Dog make you laugh until it hurts.”
– Australian Arts Review

“Jekyll & Hyde is a sexy, madcap rollercoaster from start to finish, with actors and audience members working together to create an unforgettable retelling of this classic tale.” – Glam Adelaide
