by Robert Louis Stevenson
Aug 26 – Oct 29
On the fog-bound streets of London, Dr. Henry Jekyll conducts mysterious experiments that unleash a shadow self—Edward Hyde. He’s an eerily endearing brute who’s unafraid to pursue his basest desires. When Hyde falls in love with a young chambermaid, Jekyll fears for her life and decides to end his experiments. But is it too late? Thus begins a savage game of cat-and-mouse, leaving a trail of mayhem in its wake. Commonweal favorite Jeffrey Hatcher reimagines this classic tale of horror that probes the nature of humanity and oozes with suspense.
