Chemical Imbalance-A Jekyll and Hyde Play

The Picton Theatre Group would like to announce their upcoming auditions for their next theatre production ‘Chemical Imbalance’ which is a Jekyll and Hyde play written by Lauren Wilson. This play is a darkly comic adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's ‘Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’. In Victorian England, repressed impulses burst their corsets as Dr. Jekyll's experiments in the nature of evil threaten to reveal the bloody hands beneath the gloves of the British Empire. Chemical Imbalance is a fast-paced romp about men and women tightrope walking the line between aristocracy and depravity, and between the twin spectres of good and evil. When asked why he chose this play to perform with the Picton Theatre Group, the director Guenter Bieniasch said “I am always looking for a good play that will entertain and when I read ‘Chemical Imbalance’ it fell straight into that category. The play has horror, drama and plenty of comedy and is a great challenge for actors and crew alike. ‘Chemical Imbalance’ has never been performed in Australia so I am privileged to have the opportunity to direct this very clever play”. There will be an orientation to ‘Chemical Imbalance’ on Wednesday, 7th September at the Wollondilly Shire Hall, Picton, at 7.30pm sharp. Come along and meet the director and learn more about ‘Chemical Imbalance’. The audition for the play will be held on Saturday, 10th September at the Wollondilly Shire Hall, Picton, between 2 pm – 5pm.
