A Penny Dreadful
Theatre Talk: Jekyll and Hyde
with Joyce Caplan

Jekyll and Hyde: The classic tale of addiction and the Divided Self- and how addiction always wins! Why did Robert Louis Stevenson write this grim story and how was it received?

Joyce’s Caplan’s involvement with theatre began as a student when she ran the book stall in the newly opened Nottingham Playhouse. At university she acted (badly) in Brecht and Shakespeare but was of course hooked on the magical transformation theatre creates for both actors and audience. She is now Chair of the Scottish Arts Club Theatre Awards who visit every play in the Fringe that has a Scottish connection. Joyce is also a teaching fellow at Edinburgh University in Scottish Literature. Along with Gail Wylie, Joyce helped launch the Perth Theatre Season Subscription Theatre Talks in early 2023.
