IN his Bournemouth house, sickly Robert Louis Stevenson is inspired by a dream. Bedridden, he feverishly writes Jekyll and Hyde in three days and burns it.

This is the plot for a new play, The Weevil In The Biscuit that is designed to tie in with the main Dramatic Productions show Jekyll and Hyde.

Part of the Horror line-up for the Bournemouth Arts by the Sea Festival, the play premieres at The Winchester tonight with a run at Pavilion Dance and the Lighthouse Poole later.
