One of the Indiana Repertory Theatre’s (IRT) most prized theatrical endeavors is its practice of bringing first-class fiction writing to the stage in dynamic theatrical adaptations. This year, their 41st season, is no different.
The IRT opens its 2012-2013 season with an adaptation of the smart, sexy, and suspenseful classic, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. In this chilling tale of good and evil, the mild-mannered Dr. Jekyll develops a potion that unleashes his secret, inner persona—the loathsome, twisted Mr. Hyde. Jeffrey Hatcher’s adaptation takes audiences from Victorian drawing rooms to the grim alleyways of London. The production examines the inner workings of two very different personalities and the ties that bind them dangerously close together.
“We open this season with the promise of a mystery—and the instinctive yearning we share to explore the duality of human nature,” said Janet Allen, Artistic Director, IRT. “We are delighted to admit Robert Louis Stevenson into that pantheon, with this savvy and suspenseful stage adaptation by American playwright Jeffrey Hatcher, whose other literary adaptations, The Turn of the Screw, and Tuesdays with Morrie have graced our Upperstage in recent years.”
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, presented by Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield, runs through September 30. Tickets are on sale now. Prices range from $25-55 and vary based on day and time.
