Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde
Presented by Isoceles Theatre.
First performed in 2006, this is a fast-paced adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic novel. It has enthralled audiences throughout Britain and Ireland and played to packed houses everywhere.
An experiment to separate virtue from wickedness in his own nature results in the respectable Dr Jekyll releasing the demon within. It is a malevolent force which will eventually possess him body and soul.
All human beings are commingled out of good and evil….
Edward Hyde alone, in the ranks of mankind, was pure evil

'To be free is very sweet'
When one woman tells of her extraordinary journey to overcome the brutality of slavery, she becomes a beacon for the British anti-slavery movement.
Born into slavery in the British colony of Bermuda, Mary Prince went on to become an auto-biographer and champion of freedom. Her book had an electrifying effect on the abolitionist movement helping to free many Africans in bondage.
Through theatre, song, music, drumming and dance, this masterpiece of Black British theatre is inspired by the storytelling traditions of the West African Griot.

The Man who Left the Titanic
Presented by Isosceles in association with Useful Idiots.
She was beautiful... she was unsinkable... she was doomed...
The Titanic was declared the greatest ship in the world. On 15th April 1912 it slipped below the frigid waters of the Atlantic.
Yet J Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line, stepped into a lifeboat and sailed away from the stricken ship. He sailed away from his passengers, sailed away from the cries and screams and tears.
The Man Who Left The Titanic evokes that terrible voyage. It asks whether Bruce Ismay only did what any of us might have done in the same circumstances or should his actions that night consign his name to infamy? Was he a coward, or merely human?
This play has toured throughout England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales for a number of years to enormous acclaim.
