After last year's sell out show 'Murder on the Titanic,' Made in 48 Hours will return to the Talisman Theatre with this year's offering, 'Jekyll & Hyde'. 

Yet again the team will be attempting the seemingly impossible - learning lines, rehearsing dance moves, finding costumes, putting up the set and delivering a rip-roaring comedy all in just two days. 

This story was initially intended to form the basis of Made in 48 Hours' production for the summer of 2020, so writer and producer Sam Harris is "delighted" the company will finally be able to bring its twist on this classic tale to the stage. 

Those with a nose for on-the-edge drama are in for another evening of entertainment and hilarity as the company try to make it through the play without forgetting their lines, bumping into each other, or falling over the set - all under the watchful eye of director Jo Gough, who made her directorial debut last year. 

Made in 48 Hours has been organising these productions on an annual basis since 1999, when the concept was born, whilst Sam Harris and her husband James, were at university in Sheffield. 

Mrs Harris said: "We started out with just a combined cast and crew of ten and it's wonderful that we're not only still going, but also to see how much we've grown over the years. 

"I have never been able to work out how the cast manage to learn their lines so quickly. It's amazing what you can retain, but sometimes people forget things and have to get themselves out of it, which always seems to give the audience a good laugh.  

"We, like so many others, were affected by Covid, but we are back with a vengeance. We were so excited to have been welcomed back to the Talisman Theatre, which we consider our spiritual home and are extremely grateful for their help and support. 

"As always the proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to charity and this year's show will be in aid of Spencer's Retreat, part of the Langsdale Trust."
