ATLANTIC STAGE PRODUCTIONS Atlantic Stage
DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE By Jeffrey Hatcher
Oct. 16 – Nov. 9 Thursdays – Saturdays, 7:30 p.m. Matinee on Sundays, 3p.m. 79th Avenue Theatre The script is adapted from the novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. “In Hatcher’s version, the dark Hyde indeed comes out, and he is evil beyond measure. But not all evil: He loves and is loved. Too, Jekyll isn’t the pure soul we’ve come to believe him to be...a play that honors the original, but gives a more complex interpretation of the dual nature of man. A dark and disturbing story liberally peppered with humor.” —Arizona Daily Star. Parental Guidance suggested. It is a wee bit scary, after all! Tickets start at $10.
