The Confession of Henry Jekyll, M.D. at James Bridges Theater

L.A. Theatre Works presents the world premiere of an original, commissioned audio play by playwright and screenwriter David Rambo, inspired by “The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson. As Jekyll records the history of his years-long struggle to maintain his reputation as a physician, venture capitalist and philanthropist while secretly attempting to suppress a voracious, amoral beast he has long felt lurking within his psyche, his harrowing story is revealed in a series of flashbacks. Each of the four performances will be recorded live in front of an audience for future radio broadcast, digital download and online streaming. April 14 – April 16; L.A. Theatre Works @ the James Bridges Theater, UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television, 235 Charles E. Young Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90095 (enter UCLA from Hilgard just south of Sunset Blvd.; park in Lot 3 on the lower level); $15-$65; (310) 827-0889; www.latw.org
