Hudson Theatre Ensemble, Hoboken's own award-winning professional community theatre now in its 10th season, presents Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde adapted by nationally-renowned playwright Jeffrey Hatcher from the novella by Robert Louis Stevenson. But beware, Hatcher's fiendishly clever and provocative psychological thriller is hipper, more erotic, and theatrically intense...definitely not your grandfather's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! Recommended for mature audiences.

So, are you too good a Jekyll not to have a Hyde! Really? Are you perfect, good, mostly good, 70% good? And is Hyde evil incarnate, evil, mostly evil, 70% evil? If only the question of good and evil were so simple. In today's world where the idea that everything is either black or white and that you are either for us or against us is so strong, Hatcher's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde will remind us that human beings have multifaceted personalities much too complicated to fit into neat little boxes. In fact in Hatcher's version, actors play multiple roles and the menacing Mr. Hyde himself is played by five actors - including one female!

Jeffrey Hatcher writes for both stage and screen. His accomplishments include screenplays for The Duchess (2008 film with Kiera Knightly) and Casanova (2005 film with Heath Ledger), as well as the popular stage version (with Mitch Albom) of the bestseller, Tuesdays With Morrie and plays A Picasso (winner of the Barrymore Award for Best New Play), Three Viewings, Scotland Road, The Turn of the Screw, Neddy and Murder by Poe. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was nominated by the Mystery Writers of America for an Edgar Award for "Best Play."
