Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde

In this thrilling interpretation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale, man’s dual nature is examined in all its staggering complexity. In Victorian-era London, Dr. Henry Jekyll’s unorthodox experimentation to isolate and cure humanity’s basest instincts has released the darker side of himself: Mr. Edward Hyde, a brutish libertine lacking his counterpart’s conscience. As Hyde’s increasingly misanthropic behavior threatens to expose him, Dr. Jekyll searches for ways to suppress his alter ego. But when a woman piques Hyde’s interest, a struggle for dominance ensues, and the line between good and evil begins to blur. Using multiple actors to portray Mr. Hyde, this exciting and terrifying adaptation questions whether the capacity for evil lurks within us all.
