In Victorian London, brilliant scientist Dr Henry Jekyll is driven by a daring dream: To separate the good and evil within mankind.

Determined to save his ailing father and advance medical science, Jekyll conducts a dangerous experiment on himself.

But the results unleash his dark alter ego, the ruthless and uncontrollable Edward Hyde.

As Hyde grows stronger and more violent, Jekyll finds himself trapped in a terrifying struggle for control, with devastating consequences for those around him, including the kind-hearted Emma Carew and the compassionate Lucy Harris.

Filled with soaring melodies, dramatic storytelling, and unforgettable songs such as This Is the Moment, Someone Like You, and Confrontation, Jekyll & Hyde is a powerful theatrical experience that blends gothic suspense with emotional depth.

The show takes place from Wednesday, July 29, to Saturday, August 1, nightly at 7:30pm, with a Saturday matinee performance at 2pm.

Tickets for the show cost €21, and are available from the Source Arts Centre.

Limelight is dedicated to providing local youth with a hands-on, professional-grade theatre experience.

Beyond building onstage confidence through performance, the group actively develops skills in technical backstage work, set design, makeup, and lighting management.

As an inclusive community organization, Limelight provides a vital "safe space" for young artists to collaborate, grow, and bring large-scale musical blockbusters to life in mid Tipperary.

Following their previous acclaimed summer runs of Fame Jr. and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Jekyll & Hyde represents the group's boldest and most mature artistic undertaking to date.
