at the Centre Theater
208 DeKalb Street Norristown
The timeless tale about the good doctor, Henry Jekyll, and his dark echo, Edward Hyde, is brought to the stage in a fiercely theatrical new adaptation by Jeffrey Hatcher. Echoing the Barrymore nominated The Elephant Man and Waiting for Godot, Iron Age invigorates this inventively script. Stripping away the melodrama and romantic distractions of the novel, Hatcher develops a smart and suspenseful new take on Stevenson’s look at the evil that lurks in the hearts of men. Against the backdrop of Victorian London, the respectable Dr. Jekyll has begun to display alarmingly erratic behavior. At the same time, a brutal figure haunts the city’s streets, committing assault and murder under the cloak of darkness and dismal London fog. A terrified community tries to learn the secret of the deaths and discovers much more in the dark depths of the human heart. Opening for Halloween, Iron Age plays trick or treat with their audience.
Utilizing Lighting, a strong ensemble playing multiple roles and stylized acting, Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde reinvents the legend of the transformed man and like Hyde himself, unleashes man's passions and rage onto the c\Centre Theatre stage.
