The fall cast of Clitheroe Parish Church AODS’s production of‘Jekyll and Hyde-The Musical’with principal players (front) Katie Cowbum (Lucy), Peter Norris (Jekvll/Hvde) and Laura C om p u fFm m a l a dimly lit old asylum with


clanging and shrieking nois­ es, heralds something unset­ tling and scary in the offing, but there is much more to this show than the stage equiva­ lent of a shock-horror slasher movie,


. Forget, i f you will, those old black-and-white horror movies you may have seen, with all that grotesque face­ pulling and bizarre make-up. This musical adaptation o f . the Robert Louis Stevenson novella is true to the author’s original portrayal of the good and evil in human nature, and what can happen when one in-


- dividual tries to play God.’ V Dr Henry Jekyll is the ide­


alistic and well-intentioned young doctor at a mental asy­ lum, who wants to isolate and

though one can’t help thinking that most of the- victims deserve it to punish their hypocrisy. ~ Peter Norris,

Jekyll’s frustration over his thwarted ambitions, and the build-up to his transfor­ mation scene, in the show’s best-known song “This Is The : Moment,” is a show-stopper.
