Based on the ‘shilling shocker’ story by Robert Louis Stevenson, Dr. Henry Jekyll believes that there are two distinct sides to men – a good and an evil side. he believes that by separating the two, man can become liberated. He succeeds in his experiments with chemicals to accomplish this and transforms into Dr Hyde to commit horrendous crimes. When he discontinues use of the drug it is already too late…and there are terrifying consequences. Fredric March won an Oscar for Best Actor in this classic film which combines gothic horror, aristocratic romance and madcap Freudian psychodrama into a dizzying, exhilarating brew. This classic film will be shown by candlelight, and with the original soundtrack. Christ Church Cathedral, Friday 30th July at 10pm. Tickets €12 from 051 858 958.
