Synopsis "Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde: 2 Actor Version"

"The battle of good vs. evil has rarely been so entertaining." John Staton, Star News "As a piece of theatre, it is fascinating, invigorating and challenging to the deepest parts of our very sense of self." Gwenyfar Rohler, Encore Magazine "This is my favorite kind of theater-physical, inventive, ingenious and funny. Burt Grinstead and Anna Stromberg's comedic adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's THE STRANGE CASE OF DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE, is theatrical catnip-you just can't get enough of it." Jacquelyn Claire, StageBiz.com "If you are a fan of the book (you know which book I mean) then this is the comedy you've been waiting for. Two madcap theater artists have come up with an 80 minute retelling of the horrors unleashed by imprudent, self-indulgent science that leads to murderous, anti-social schizophrenia. All done with wit and style that had me laughing from the opening minutes to the very end." Larry Littany Litt, NYTheatre-Wire.com "As playwrights, they have also infused the story with contemporary relevance: heightening the social commentary and playing up the frustrations associated with Victorian era repression by providing Jekyll with a feminist love interest. It all works to tell a tale that is at once familiar and completely fresh." Cathy Hammer, TheUnforgettableLine.com

(Edinburgh, 1850 - Samoa, 1894) British novelist, short story writer, poet, and essayist. He entered the University of Edinburgh at the age of sixteen to follow in his father's footsteps and become a lighthouse engineer, a career he would later abandon. His nautical studies allowed him to come into contact with seafaring people and customs, key ingredients in some of his most famous works. His renowned work, Treasure Island, was published under the pseudonym Captain George North in 1881. In 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, one of the great classics of literature, was released. He died on the island of Samoa, at his home, Vailima.
