A colorful school musical between the drive for research and transformation
Theater club of the Kopernikus-Gymnasium Wasseralfingen presents Doctor Jekyll and Miss Hyde by Matthias Hahn, a winking yet dark classic adaptation on stage. On July 4, 2026, a stage experience emerges in the foyer of KGW that negotiates the conflict between self-optimization and loss of control with wit, pace, and a hint of horror. The story follows researcher Jekyll, whose wonder drug not only makes him younger but dangerously unhinged; from the experiment grows a second identity that diverts the events into new paths.

Dramaturgy with a double bottom
Matthias Hahn's play relies on the enticing interplay of transformation, identity, and grotesque intensification. The thematic foundation taps into the literary primal tension of the Jekyll and Hyde story and translates it into a stage format that is as rewarding as it is demanding for school and amateur theater. The production derives its excitement precisely from this: From a scientific experiment, a theatrical pull is created in which comedy and abyss lie close together.

Theater atmosphere in the foyer of KGW
The foyer of the Kopernikus-Gymnasium Wasseralfingen provides the right setting for an immediate, close theater experience. The production thrives here not on distance, but on presence: on voices, glances, reactions in the space. For the audience, a unique school stage atmosphere is created, where joy in playing, ensemble spirit, and immediate audience reaction carry the evening. The KGW considers itself a school with a music profile and vibrant cultural work; exactly this signature is likely to be shown on this musical evening as well.

Anticipation for a lively evening

The musical combines youthful energy with a timeless thematic idea and promises an entertaining theater evening that simultaneously touches on questions of responsibility, identity, and the seductive power of progress. Those who experience this performance live will take away more than applause: a fresh perspective on an old myth in a new, surprising form.
