Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
By Jeffrey Hatcher
Directed by Naomi Buckley

A dark, suspenseful play about the very nature of humanity, this piece is a new and beautifully written adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s masterpiece. Doctor Jekyll has been trying to develop a potion that allows him to replace the natural rages of human nature with serenity; meantime a mysterious stranger is wreaking havoc in London. Could the two men somehow be working together? Set in Victorian London, this is an exciting piece you won’t want to miss.
