Welcome to Dundee Rep’s

Dundee Rep Ensemble is proud and excited to present a season of work all linked by a common theme – Revenge!

A new version of the great Spanish classicBlood Wedding by Lorca...

Shakespeare’s thrilling early tragedy Titus Andronicus...

And a dramatisation of the classic Great Expectations by Charles Dickens

– three very different plays, but bound together by the common thread of Revenge,that most powerful but also most destructiveof emotions, which has inspired some of thegreatest writing for the theatre. We hope thatall of you will be gripped and inspired by thesegreat stories and come and explore the intriguing links between the plays — and theway in which our award-winning Ensemble ofactors delve deeper into the different worldsof these thrillers… See pages 5, 9 and 13 for details on how to save money on a combinedticket.

But of course this wonderful Spring Seasoncontains a feast of variety for all tastes and audiences from a beautifully diverse range ofvisiting companies — and it is irresistible topoint out two shows with an important local

connection: Mother of All the Peoples, which celebrates the life of unsung heroine (and daughter of Dundee) Mary Slessor. Andwatch out for the triumphant return of localplaywright Gary Robertson with The Scaffies in which Gary does for binmen what his famous The Berries did for the berry-pickers!

ThE STRaNGE CaSE OF JEKyll & hydEWed 25 March at 7.30pm Matinee: 2.30pm

Edinburgh, 1886: a time of murky, narrow streets, scientificinnovation and seemingly endless haars – and where the city’s Old and New Towns are separated by more than just the North Bridge.

In the New Town we meet the Jekyll family. Dr Jekyll longs for one of his radical experiments to finally go right. His daughter Miriam longs for the right to attend University. Son William is never far from his beloved needlework and wife Jane is never far from the bottle.

While seemingly a world away in the Old Town a murkyfigure known as Hyde has begun to roam the moonlit streets. It seems the townsfolk on both sides of the city have trouble adhering to the strict rules and values of Victorian times.

But whose secrets will be exposed when the haar finally clears from Auld Reekie.
