SUMMARY:The Last Five Years - Barn Theatre
DESCRIPTION:The new production of The Last Five Years is a Built by Barn production from Barn Theatre\, Reading Rep Theatre and Theatre Royal Bath. It will star Martha Kirby as Kathy and Guy Woolf as Jamie. \n\nThe hit musical follows two New Yorkers in a relationship that’s lasted five years so far. The question is whether they can remain united as their lives move in different directions. \nA twisting plot sees Jamie’s side of the story start at the moment they meet. Cathy’s story starts at the end moving backwards. The pair meet once in the middle. \nIt’s a smart\, entertaining and heartfelt musical. \nDirector Hal Chambers said that he’s been longing to direct the show for over 20 years\, being a “passionate admirer” of Jason Robert Brown’s work. He called the storytelling music and emotional depth in the show “unmatched”. \n“The narrative structure\, with Cathy moving backwards through time and Jamie forwards\, creates a compelling theatrical puzzle reminiscent of a Christopher Nolan film\,” he says. \n“It feels like a haunting memory play – dreamlike\, poetic\, and full of magical realism. Our production will lean into that\, using bold imagery and movement to explore the ghosts of a relationship and the raw beauty of love and heartbreak. The music is breath-taking – joyful\, witty\, devastating – and I can’t wait to bring it to life with our cast. Performed in intimate venues\, our vision promises a deeply personal and emotionally resonant Last Five Years that captures the show’s unique intimacy and power.”

SUMMARY:Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde at Rondo Theatre Bath
DESCRIPTION:“Man is not one\, but truly two.”\n\nWhimsiCo take a dive into the dark with their new adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde\, combining psychedelic rock with classic gothic horror. \nTo all who know him\, Gabriel Utterson is a good man\, but when he must investigate a string of mysterious murders somehow connected to his friend Dr Jekyll\, he finds that he must discover more about himself than pleasantries if he is to solve the strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. \nAn electrifying new feminist take on the classic novel by the weird uncle of gothic horror\, WhimsiCo’s Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is set to be an exploration into what happens when personal loyalty takes over morality\, and where the line between good and evil blurs.
