Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher
from the novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
by Robert Louis Stevenson

Directed by Edward Stern

March 18–April 12, 2009

A brutal, mysterious figure has begun to haunt the London streets, committing murder under cloak of darkness, while respected Dr. Henry Jekyll displays increasingly alarming, erratic behavior. Jekyll’s friends confront the monstrous Mr. Hyde in an attempt to unlock the puzzles of this tortured soul, but only Hyde’s beautiful mistress may hold the solution. Stevenson’s tale of inner demons and evil unchecked is given thrilling new life in this intense, intimate and fiendishly clever adaptation.

Steve's Take:
Is there anything more frightening than the monster that may dwell within us? Jeffrey Hatcher's sharp and smart take on Stevenson's classic story may have you looking twice in the mirror!
