Parlor Games: Part One is a preview to the upcoming production of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, October 28 – November 6 at the B. Iden Payne Theatre. Based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s iconic Victorian tale, playwright Jeffrey Hatcher’s modern adaptation delves into paranoia, jealousy and violence and reveals that the line between good and evil is blurred.
In Victorian London, the esteemed Dr. Jekyll has begun to exhibit unpredictable behavior, while a figure roams the streets committing violent acts in the dark and shadowy streets. As Dr. Jekyll’s peers confront the mysterious Mr. Hyde, Jekyll’s psyche fractures. Jekyll must confront Hyde – himself – and the darkness that exists in both men.
Theatrically intense and provocative, Jeffrey Hatcher’s retelling of Stevenson’s novella transports Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde into the 21st century. No longer a story of a reductive representation of good versus evil, Hatcher presents Jekyll as a man haunted by multiple manifestations of his worst impulses. Identity is fluid, multiple and complex. Jekyll’s inner conflict is mirrored on stage by four actors, including two women; each who portrays a distinct version of Hyde.
