The Body Snatcher
“No rest for the wicked”
Complementing the eerie world of “Jekyll and Hyde”, the show presents a double bill with “The Body Snatcher” adapted by Philip Harrison.
Likely inspired by the real-life exploits of the infamous grave robbers Burke and Hare, this is a parable about the horrors of science and how scientific experimentation, when void of compassion and humanity, becomes a dark art – a philosophical treatise as alarming as Crime and Punishment, as compelling as Paradise Lost, and as chilling as Frankenstein. Both plays draw from the macabre genius of Robert Louis Stevenson, inviting you into a world where the line between humanity and monstrosity blurs.
