In the small town of Talebury, storybook characters live in peace and harmony... Until the mayor is murdered. 

Called in by a confused sheriff, Dr Henry Jekyll is on the case. With his sharp assistant Freya, Jekyll is ready to ask the questions and examine the clues, but as sordid pasts and hidden betrayals are revealed, the good doctor will need all his cunning and smarts to figure this one out

EGO Centrics presents an original production from the community cast that brought you "The Pig & Butcher" and "Last Will and Tournament".

This show is suitable for all ages

Pay What You Can: You choose to pay £5, £12 or £20 for your ticket. This helps cover the cost of the event and keep our monthly subscription fees for members at a minimum.
