Hatcher’s provocative adaptation of this timeless classic will mesmerize you and question your ability to fully know others.
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. At the same time, a brutal figure haunts the city’s streets, committing assault and murder under the cloak of darkness and dismal London fog. Dr. Jekyll’s friends confront the monstrous Mr. Hyde in an attempt to unlock the puzzles of this tortured soul. Is it possible that only Hyde’s beautiful mistress holds the key? Nationally renowned playwright Jeffrey Hatcher brings Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale of inner demons and evil unchecked to the Rep’s stage in a theatrically intense, contemporary and fiendishly clever production.
