Jekyll and Hyde tells the story of Dr. Henry Jekyll, a brilliant young doctor and research scientist who, distraught over his father’s mental illness, embarks upon a quest to isolate the dual elements of good and evil that are constantly struggling for supremacy inside every human being. However, when his experiment backfires, Jekyll inadvertently gives life to Edward Hyde, his evil alter ego, a murderous being who will let loose a reign of terror on the city of London and those who had ridiculed Jekyll’s research.
Robert Cuccioli, well-known for creating the title role in the 1995 Houston
production of Jekyll and Hyde, prior to his Broadway performance,
directs this new TUTS staging.
