Theatre Tulsa's Fall Production of the adaptation of the classic study in psychology by Robert Lewis Stevenson, as adapted by Jeffry Hatcher.

We all know the story.  Henry Jekyll is the model Victorian gentleman . .  or is he?

In this new and sometimes shocking adaptation of Stevenson's classic, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, playwright Jeffrey Hatcher opens the window to the human soul in a slightly different and intriguing manner. Jekyll's experiments with "powders and tinctures" have brought forth the evil Edward Hyde, a sensualist and villain.  Yet, Jekyll finds he is becoming lost in his own creation and in many ways is unable to control his own desires.  

“If you consider the psychology of Mr. Hyde, the concept of multiple personalities makes sense because no binge is the same as the last binge. No high the same as the last high. They are all different, so they could all be portrayed by different people,” Hatcher says.

“The story is often described as being about good versus evil, but I think it’s more about the stifling of parts of one’s own personality. Victorian England was obsessed with the suppression of desire, the suppression of any appearance of weakness,” the playwright continues. “We are used to thinking of Hyde as the bad boy side of milquetoast Dr. Jekyll. But I believe Jekyll is not really the person he wants to be."

Come and enjoy this new interpretation of an old story. See if times have really changes as much as we would like to think. Join us for this psychological Halloween fare.

Because of scenes that imply violence and sexual situations, “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” is not recommended for children.
