A killer stalks the fog-shrouded streets of late 19th-century London.
Respected physicians parade human remains before eager crowds—half spectacle, half grotesque science. A chambermaid discovers subversive comfort in an affair that scorns safety and property. As virtual and vice distilled into one, a brilliant medical scientist becomes addicted to his experiments. Welcome to the lair of Dr. Jekyll and study of Mr. Hyde, where the moral furniture is not quite as neatly arranged as you may think.
Losing none of its Gothic suspense, Hatcher's adaptation brings sharp, contemporary insights to this lasting tale. This slick, fast-paced, and bitingly cynical version allows Stevenson's classic to reverberate powerfully with modern audiences, casting new light on the desires, delusions, and blind spots that drive Dr. Jekyll's scientific endeavors. With dagger-edged wit, cane-tipped social commentary, and an explosive original score by Tobias Reinert, this production invites us to witness a familiar story unfold with richness and nuance.
This production contains depictions of violence and sexual situations. It explores mature themes of psychological turmoil, moral conflict, and dual identity, and includes moments of abuse, murder, and intense theatrical effects. Viewer discretion is advised.
