Jekyll vs Hyde: The Event of DOOM
In 1886, Dr Jekyll drank a potion that created a super-powered monster named Mr Hyde. In 2026, a spoiled, cunning boy named Henrik Jekyll rediscovers the potion, and accidentally unleashes a brand new Hyde who will change his life forever . . .
Welcome to the laboratory of Jack Meggitt-Phillips – a laugh out loud, carnival of chaos, where young readers will be given the skills they need to create their own monstrously funny stories. In this highly interactive, hourlong event, Jack will introduce his new middle-grade series, Jekyll vs Hyde: The Potion of Doom.
Jack will be giving a whistlestop history of the Victorian London that inspired the spine-chilling classic. There will be dramatic readings with props aplenty. There will be a quiz for really rubbish prizes. And together, Jack and the audience will be creating a new monster, which everyone can use to create stories of their own.
