Theatre reviews: Dr Jeykll and Mr Hyde | Richard III | Art
Although the story is set in London, there’s always a sense that the landscape of Victorian Edinburgh is somehow implicated in Robert Louis Stevenson’s great 1886 novella, The Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde; something to do with the story’s fierce Calvinist tension between grand houses and stinking vennels, do-goodery and hypocrisy, the strict suppression of matters sexual, and a thriving underworld of prostitution and sexual violence.
