Dr. Henry Jekyll, frustrated by dull "respectable" life in 1888 Victorian London, creates a formula to unleash his inner bestial nature, transforming him into the brutish but oddly compassionate Edward Hyde. But soon this dual life starts to pile up a body count. This intimate, easy-to-stage version of Stevenson's science fiction classic features two haunting chorus characters, who speed along the action, play many supporting roles, and speak to Jekyll as voices in his head.

A young governess is hired by a mysterious man near the end of 19th century England to care for his two children, her only charge to oversee their lives with absolutely no contact with him. Upon her arrival at the estate, she encounters a cantankerous housekeeper who absolutely does exist, and a caretaker and former governess who...might exist. One of the great ghost stories of all time. Explosively chilling.
"...an evening's worth of startles, spine-tingles and a climax of absolute horror. Be prepared to be scared." --Eric Sean Weld, Daily Hampshire Gazette, Northampton, Massachusetts
