DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDEBy Jeffrey Hatcher
Oct. 16 – Nov. 9Thursdays – Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.Matinee on Sundays, 3p.m.79th Avenue Theatre
The script is adapted from the novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. “In Hatch-er’s version, the dark Hyde indeed comes out, and he is evil beyond measure. But not all evil: He loves and is loved. Too, Jekyll isn’t the pure soul we’ve come to believe him to be...a play that honors the original, but gives a more complex interpretation of the dual nature of man. A dark and disturbing story liberally peppered with humor.” —Arizona Daily Star. Parental Guidance suggested. It is a wee bit scary, after all!
Tickets start at $10.
