20 roles

Henry Jekyll/Edward HydMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Henry Jekyll is a doctor. His character is driven by the aim to improve the plight of those afflicted with mental illness – particularly his own father. In pursuit of this goal he attempts to distinguish what causes the swing between good and evil within man and to find a chemical formula that can separate the two in order to eliminate the “evil” element of a man’s personality.

Lucy HarrisFemale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Lucy is an actress/whore who lives above The Red Rat, a rather seedy drinking establishment in the locks at Camden.

Emma CarewFemale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Emma is the daughter of Sir Danvers Carew. Emma is a graceful, elegant young woman, with spirit and a joy of life.

Gabriel John UttersonMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Lawyer and friend of Henry Jekyll: John is Jekyll’s confidant, lawyer, and supporter. He is an upstanding man, regarded well by his peers. Serious, somewhat somber attitude and not given to laughter or joviality, but has an underlying humor.

Mr. Simon StrideMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Stride is effectively the Secretary of Board of Governors of St Jude’s Hospital.

Sir Danvers CarewMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Sir Danvers is a genial man, who has no need to prove his standing in society or his influence over others. As Chairman of the Board at St Jude's Hospital, he had, in his day, been a highly respected physician.

Bishop of BasingstokeMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

As his title suggests, he is a man of the cloth. Likely on the board to make sure that religious strictures are placed upon development of medicine. Outwardly, a man of God – making sure everyone knows what a ‘do-gooder’ he is. However, he has a penchant for very young prostitutes. This character is particularly sleazy.

General Lord GlossopMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Typical military man. He is pompous, exacting and probably was a paper pusher rather than has actually seen any front line fighting in his time. Overbearing and full of his own self- importance. Again, believes he is an upstanding member of society but enjoys the vices that title and money enables him to enjoy. A bully.

The Right Honorable Archibald ProopsMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

A Q.C. and government official. Busy man, “quick and methodical”, likely equates everything to its relevance to the law. He would be the guiding force on the board of governors in terms of what is lawful, so would be quick to quash anything that he deemed ill advised. Although medical testing on human’s was not illegal at the time, it could bring the hospital into disrepute. Perhaps his ‘vice’ was money, bribery or corruption?

Lady BeaconsfieldMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

She is mature, takes great care of her appearance, fashionable and flirts with those men around her. She is outspoken, to the point of rude, and has a great regard for herself and her own self-importance. Not particularly nice but likely to be on every society list as a guest! She especially enjoys her jewels – pearls, diamonds etc. Very rich and finds the poor disgusting!

Lord SavageMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Lord Savage is noted in the script as “having better things to do” and those things are probably to see and be seen around town in the best clubs, establishments and company. Titled from birth, he’s probably used his money to gain status. He is a bit of a dandy. Likely would be first to be seen with the newest fashions and slightly “overdone” in the clothing department. Perhaps his vice was opium?!

SpiderMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Proprietor of "The Red Rat"/Pimp: Nasty, seedy and evil. He uses and abuses the prostitutes as well as fleecing the customers of the pub. Spider frequents the Red Rat but can be seen ‘lurking’ in the top end of town too. He is given to violence and will make a point with his fists rather than words. A great cameo.

PooleMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Jekyll's manservant: Jekyll’s butler. Faithful to his employer, Poole is the epitome of discretion. He would, without question, do anything asked of him of his master

Mr. BissetMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Apothecary Minister at weddingMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Priest at FuneralMale16-18 y.o.All ethnicities
