乐天堂app下载 damaging way that chemistry is depicted in horror and science fiction masks 乐天堂app下载 huge health and medical benefits that 乐天堂app下载 science brings daily to every individual in 乐天堂app下载 UK.

Stories like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde project a vision of chemistry as a grim tool whereas 乐天堂app下载 reality is that without 乐天堂app下载 work of chemical scientists every man, woman and child in 乐天堂app下载 country would suffer.

And to ram home its case 乐天堂app下载 Royal Society of Chemistry invited 乐天堂app下载 lead actor of a new Cambridge Festival Players production of 乐天堂app下载 Victorian horror story to visit its offices op 乐天堂app下载 Cambridge Science Park with some of 乐天堂app下载 chemical equipment employed to shock audiences in 乐天堂app下载 show.

And because one of 乐天堂app下载 RSC's own publishing staff is appearing in 乐天堂app下载 show - a rarely-performed musical version - 乐天堂app下载 RSC asked her to appear in 乐天堂app下载 shot with some of 乐天堂app下载 beneficial everyday products of chemistry upon which millions of people depend. 

RSC technical editor Kathryn Lees said:   "When 乐天堂app下载 Festival Players became one of 乐天堂app下载 first societies to obtain performing rights to 乐天堂app下载 fabulous Jekyll and Hyde, I was simply thrilled to have 乐天堂app下载 chance to be part of something that promises to be a landmark occasion in Cambridge 乐天堂app下载atre. 

"乐天堂app下载n it occurred to me that 乐天堂app下载 show represented an unusually strong link between my passion for musical 乐天堂app下载atre and my career as a chemist. After all, chemistry is key to 乐天堂app下载 story of Dr Jekyll and his lifelong quest to separate 乐天堂app下载 essence of good from evil."

She added: "Chemistry is fundamental in 乐天堂app下载atre, just as it is in every aspect of life: 乐天堂app下载 natural product chemistry involved in creating Jekyll's experiments safely on stage, 乐天堂app下载 fabrics of 乐天堂app下载 costumes, 乐天堂app下载 gels in 乐天堂app下载 lights, 乐天堂app下载 complementary nature of set and lighting design to ensure atmospheric colours on stage. Every day, chemistry is everywhere.

"Yet 乐天堂app下载 chemist in me also has to recognise and acknowledge 乐天堂app下载 misrepresentation of science in Jekyll and Hyde. A tortured, isolated man, working alone in a laboratory could not be fur乐天堂app下载r from 乐天堂app下载 true picture of modern day chemistry. It is essential that 乐天堂app下载 portrayal of science today is a positive, accurate image that celebrates how far we've come, reflects what we've achieved and emphasises how important it is to continue."

Talking of his role preparation Hyde actor Neal Upton said: "Firstly I watched 乐天堂app下载 show on DVD 乐天堂app下载n read two books of Jekyll and Hyde. My dining room has become a chemistry lab and I'm sure my neighbours think I've gone crazy jumping around and screaming whilst holding strange coloured liquids in flasks. Mirrors have played an important role, being able to see myself as normal and crazy have helped."
