GENERAL WITCHFINDERS PRESENT: DR JEKYLL & SISTER HYDE
<div>Expect a night of trivia, tangents, and laughs at the screening of Hammer's gender-swapping 1971 curiosity <i><b>Dr Jekyll & Sister Hyde</b></i>. Then stay for a live recording of the UK's top ten film history podcast with the General Witchfinders.</div><div><br></div><div>Directed by Roy Ward Baker (Scars of Dracula, Quatermass and the Pit) and written by Brian Clemens (Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter), this version of the Stevenson classic takes a wild turn by introducing a female alter-ego, while weaving real-life historical figures Jack the Ripper and Burke and Hare into the plot. Starburst Magazine praised it as ‘one of the most ingenious adaptations of a classic horror tale,’ noting that ‘it is Martine Beswick who steals the show... she creates an air of sexual magnetism and cunning that offsets the doctor’s neurotic predicament.’</div><div><br></div><div>After the credits roll, the General Witchfinders team – Ross Cleaver, James Randall, and Jon Pountney – take to the stage. Bringing a mountain of facts mixed with an obsession for the more bizarre side of British culture. The team will examine the cast, crew, and production history, along with any weird and wonderful side roads their research and conversation leads them down – an approach that saw the podcast selected for the British Library’s National Sound Archive.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Please Note: This film was produced in 1971 and contains outdated attitudes and language that reflect the period in which it was made.</div>PT2H30M15Ralph Bates
