Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

A new and shocking version of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of love and horror. On the fog-bound streets of London, Dr. Henry Jekyll’s experiments with exotic “powders and tinctures” have brought forth multiple versions of his other self - Edward Hyde, a complex and compelling character filled with both rage and passion. When Hyde falls under the spell of a local woman, threatening to expose Jekyll’s work, Jekyll decides to end the experiment and destroy his creation. But Hyde has other ideas, and so the two sides battle each other in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to determine who shall be the master and who his servant. Hyde is portrayed by multiple actors onstage.
