Press Release:
HYDE is an original adaption and continuation of Robert Louis Stevenson's novella; The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mister Hyde; which combines the mediums of theatre, film, practical special effects makeup, while drawing heavily from the gothic monster narratives that came before to create a truly thrilling experience that brings this classic story to life.
Set against the backdrop of modern day London, England. The play follows Harper Jackwill; a surgeon of Whitechapel General Hospital. While operating on a mugging victimHarper begins to see visions of the past and possible hallucinations of the future, as something within claws to get free.
Elijah Gabriel Utterson; a descendant of Gabriel John Utterson, along with his team and aided by the journals left by Dr. Jekyll & Stevenson, search to banish the evil known to them as Mister Edward Hyde and protect the innocent people of London.
Throughout the show the concept of
duality is visited and the true definition of good and evil
is questioned, leaving the audience to
answer;
“Am I in control of my dark side... and
if not who
is?”
