BWW Previews: JEKYLL AND HYDE at THE NEW OCTAVIANS

The endless battle between good and evil comes alive onstage in the NEW OCTAVIANS new thrilling production of JEKYLL AND HYDE.

---

Based on the 1886 classic, JEKYLL AND HYDE tells the tale of a doctor-haunted by his work, and two women-one beautiful and trusting, the other hopeful but trusting only herself, both in love with the same man but unaware of his dark secret. Dr. Henry Jekyll is committed to his experiments in solving a chemical formula which could alter mans personality and solve what has haunted humanity for years. Rebuffed by his colleagues and superiors, Henry turns to himself to be the subject of his experiments and unwillingly unleashed his inner demon London would come to know as Mr. Hyde.

London is plagued by a disease called-Facade. Both the rich and the poor of London describe how this separation of personalities is destructive to society and to humanity

Lucy Harris is the main attraction at The Red Rat, a rather seedy pub and brothel. Although a hopeful dreamer, she takes life as it is knowing there is little better life for her. To both Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Lucy is a carnal affair, but to Lucy, Jekyll is her hope for love, something she believes she will never have, and Hyde is all she believes she deserves.
