Emma is the 19 year old daughter of the wealthy Sir Danvers Carew. Emma is a graceful, elegant young woman, with spirit and a joy of life. She is courteous, deferential and dutiful, but very much has her own mind and is slightly headstrong

A showgirl and sex worker taking up residence in the Dreggs, close friends with Lucy Ivy Harris. Swings both ways and is incredibly giggly and flirty, loves to dance and drink.

showgirl and sex worker (Jekyll and Hyde)

The secret identity of Dr Henry Jekyll. He is the embodiment of all that is bad about Jekyll in a small man who’s clothes hang off him because he wears Jekyll’s clothes but Jekyll is a whole lot bigger than him. Hyde is aggressively bisexual and will fuck anything in sight. He’s really horny all the time and prone to short bursts of anger if he doesn’t get his way. Very murderous. Absolutely infatuated with Lucy Ivy Harris.

The Spirit of London at Night

Stride is Lisa's previous boyfriend. He claims to  be a moralist and is the well respected Secretary of Board of Governors of St Jude’s Hospital. He is rival to Jekyll both within their social sphere as well as romantically for he still holds strong feelings for Emma. Stride however has a secret position as the primary owner and backer of The Red Rat Dregs brothel. He is insanely jealous of Jekyll, and desires nothing more then to see Henry suffer.

John is Jekyll’s best friend, confidant, lawyer and supporter. He is an upstanding man, regarded well  by his peers. Serious, somewhat sombre attitude and not given to laughter or joviality, but has an underlying humour. Likely worked his way up the ranks of society, rather than was born into wealth. He is a gentleman, first and last. Jekyll is his equal both intellectually and in standing and they have an ease when together. He has no pretensions. He is ages with Jekyll and I imagine they spent

This character is a wealthy aristocrat based partially on Viscountess Beaconsfield who was wife of the  prime minister Disraeli. She was notorious for her uninhibited remarks.Staid Victorians were often scandalised by her but learned not to comment. She was shrewder than she looked.In the musical, the character is in later life, although still takes great care of her appearance, particularly fashionable and flirts with those men around her. She is outspoken to the point of rude and has a great r

A proper and pious man, curious about the world of good and evil, hiding his horrible secret, a second identity known commonly as Mr Edward Hyde. A twinge of repressed homosexuality but if you ask him about it he’ll get defensive.

The distinguished Doctor, Henry Jekyll

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 Judes Hospital, I would assume he had, in his day, been a highly respected physician. In later years, with his knighthood, he has deferred career for retirement and highly revered enough to be allowed to preside as Chairman of the Board. After Jekyll's father fell ill Sir Danvers was the guiding figure behind Jekyll’s development as a  physican/scientist over

A Queen’s Council (i.e. high level Barrister), Aristocrat, and government official. Busy man, “quick and methodical”, likely equates everything to it’s 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 down trouble from the law front on the hospital, so thus likely would become a problem to him

An old fashioned Army General, typical military man, the general has a rod up his ass. He is pompous, exacting and probably was a paper pusher rather than has actually seen any front line fighting in his time. Certainly a force to be reckoned with, overbearing and full of his own self importance


Lord Savage is a wealthy Lord who is stuck in the old ways. In the original script noted as “having  better things to do” and those are probably to see and be seen around town and 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. He would as like frequent an opium den in the docks as he would the royal
