Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde has thrilled generations as a novella, in film and on the stage. This adaptation is intensely theatrical as it presents four Hydes, each a facet of the personality that the idealistic Dr. Jekyll has summoned up through his chemical research into the human psyche. The Hydes (one of them a woman) are all dangerous, but none more so than the sensual Hyde #3, who becomes fascinated with a vulnerable working class woman. Jekyll becomes increasingly concerned for her safety and his own sanity and reputation as Hyde becomes ever stronger.
The play features Chris Irving as Dr. Jekyll and Stephen Flett, Derek Perks, Chris Coculuzzi and Jenn Sellers as the four Hyde's. Stephanie Barone plays Elizabeth, with Cabiria Aquarius, Kristen Myers and Jamie Zhuravel in supporting roleS. Harvey Levkoe, who directed Amicus' production of All My Sons and most recently for East Side Players' The Hypochondriac, directs the play. The set, designed by Wayne Cardinalli, moves us magically from privileged to desperate Victorian London locations in a play that tells a familiar story in a fresh way.
