JONESBOROUGH REPERTORY THEATRE

This October, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde will stalk the streets of Jonesborough.  Adapted from the familiar story, this retelling of the story of Dr. Henry Jekyll and his infamous experiments is a stripped down, threadbare affair presented be a troupe of six actors playing multiple roles.  As it recounts the tale of how the murderous, lecherous Hyde meets and develops a unique infatuation with a young chamber-maid named Elizabeth, it gives us a chilling, deeply psychological examination of Edward Hyde as he relates to his "host" Jekyll - or is it the other way around?   Nominated for an Edgar Award for Best Play by the Mystery Writers of America, there is absolutely no better way to spend a crisp October evening this year than with this intensely compelling account of the darkness that lurks just beneath the surface in Victorian London...
