Current Production
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Based on the story by Robert Louis Stephenson
Adapted for the stage by B. Stanley
It’s the story you know, or most likely, think you know. In this new adaption Theatre Du Jour stays strictly to the story as written by Stephenson. Tortured by his bland and conservative life, Dr. Henry Jekyll concocts a mixture that can transform his physical being, unleash his suppressed yearnings for depravity and evil, and return to his old self whenever he wishes. But when an unknown protégée is named as the beneficiary of his will, inheriting his entire estate in case of his “death or disappearance,” his oldest friend suspects nefarious intentions and determines to uncover the identity of one Mr. Edward Hyde. The exhilaration and pleasure of Jekyll’s alter ego becomes irresistible, and as its power grows, the Doctor’s diminishes. He must make a choice, or will it be made for him?.
Featuring: Jerry Herbilla, Chuck Young, Annetta Dexter-Sawyer, Terence Samuel and Kim Curtis.
