What happened the night that Henry Jekyll died? Against the
backdrop of Victorian London, the respected Dr. Jekyll has
begun to display alarmingly erratic behavior toward his friends.
At the same time, a brutal figure has begun to haunt the city’s
streets, committing assault and murder under the cloak of
darkness and the dismal London fog. In The Strange Case
of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Dr. Jekyll’s friend
and lawyer confronts the monstrous Mr. Hyde in a series of Rashomon-like scenes that attempt to answer the puzzles
at the heart of a tortured soul. Nationally renowned playwright
and ATC favorite Jeffrey Hatcher (Compleat Female Stage
Beauty, The Turn of the Screw, Work Song: Three Views of Frank
Lloyd Wright, Tuesdays With Morrie, Ella) brings Robert
Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of inner demons and evil
unchecked to ATC’s stage in a theatrically intense,
intimate and fiendishly clever world premiere. This new spin
on one of literature’s great masterpieces will be directed
by ATC Artistic Director David Ira Goldstein, who previously
directed the world premieres of two other Victorian classics
for ATC, Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure and Dracula.
The performance of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde runs two hours with one intermission |
