The Play - What happened the night that Henry Jekyll died? The respected doctor has begun to display alarmingly erratic behaviour toward his friends, even as a dark and mysterious figure haunts the city streets under the cloak of the London fog. This fiendishly clever and theatrically innovative new adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale is a smart, psychological thriller that reveals the many faces of Edward Hyde.

Roles -
Dr. Henry Jekyll - Mid 30's to 50's
Edward Hyde - 4 actors play Hyde and play other roles - 3 Males and 1 Female
Edward Hyde & Gabriel Utterson (Jekyll's solicitor and the Narrator) - Similar age to Dr. Jekyll - Mid 30's to 50's
Edward Hyde & Sir Danvers Carew & other roles - 50's to 60's
Edward Hyde & Dr. Lanyon & other roles - 30's to 50's.
Edward Hyde & Mrs. Poole (Jekyll's housekeeper) - 30's to 50's. Will need to wear male clothing as Hyde.
Elizabeth Jelkes - 20's. The young woman Hyde becomes fixated with.

The Hyde roles will be challenging as Hyde embodies evil but the actors must show clear character changes for the several other roles. Costumes change will be minimal. They will also need to develop a single entity. It will be an intriguing process.
