DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE to Run at The Underground This Fall

The Duluth Playhouse will present in The Underground Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a new play adapted for the stage by Jeffrey Hatcher, from the novella "Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) by Robert Louis Stevenson. The production will run November 10-19, 2016.

*Join us November 10 at 6:30pm for an opening night party! Free drinks and $15 tickets at the door in celebration of our first show of The Underground's 2016-2017 season.*

The timeless tale about the good doctor, Henry Jekyll, and his dark echo, Edward Hyde, is brought to the life in the Underground in a fiercely theatrical new adaptation by Jeffrey Hatcher.

Dr. Henry Jekyll is a brilliant scientist frustrated by dull "respectable" life in 1888 Victorian London. He creates a potion to unleash his inner bestial nature, transforming him into the brutish but eerily endearing Edward Hyde. Hyde lives the high life while Jekyll's mundane doctoral career continues -- until Hyde's passions begin to turn up a body count.

Equal parts thrilling and deviant, Jeffrey Hatcher's new minimalist vision focuses on characterization, physicality and an ensemble of Hydes to tell this classic minds splitting tale of depravity, lust, horror, suspense, good and evil.
