The Blog’s drama critic, Walter Plinge writes. . .
Yeovil Amateur Operatic Society (YAOS) are currently staging the musical thriller – almost a melodrama – Jekyll & Hyde. A talented cast of singers, actors and musicians wrings every ounce of high drama and pathos from this classic Robert Louis Stevenson tale of a chemically-induced split personality (or the battle between good and evil –Ed) . There are some great show-stopping numbers and some amazing performances from the principals, especially Jekyll/Hyde and Lucy Harris, his ill-fated love interest.
Staging and musical direction are superb, as you would expect from a company with professional standards and big budgets.
Worth seeing. Octagon Theatre, Yeovil, 7.30, until Saturday 11th October

The rat also saw and enjoyed this feast of blood and gore. The audience was gripped as the high drama unfolded and killer Hyde went on the loose. There’s not much on telly so treat yourself to a good night out.
