Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
From the novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
By Robert Louis Stevenson – Adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher
February 28 – March 16, 2014
A new and shocking version of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of depravity, lust, love and horror. On the fog-bound streets of Victorian-era London, Henry Jekyll’s experiments with exotic “powders and tinctures” have brought forth his other self – Edward Hyde, a sensualist and villain free to commit the sins Jekyll is too civilized to comprehend. When Hyde meets a woman who stirs his interest, Jekyll fears for her life and decides to end his experiments. 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 slave.
Unlike most of his Victorian peers, Robert Louis Stevenson did not view humans as either good or evil, sinner or sanctified, but as part demon, part angel. And if we don’t acknowledge and reconcile the two, the demonic side can prevail. Jeffrey Hatcher’s dramatization of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde exacerbates the psychic split Stevenson wrote of — with additional splintering.
