James Paul Marvin     Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Company
Synopsis:

"Marvin's adaptation retains much of the flavor of Stevenson, but abstracts various elements of the story and juxtaposes them in fresh ways. Moreover, the Jekyll-Hyde character himself is portrayed by two actors - . - the result is engrossing as an experiment in ritualistic and representational techniques seldom seen ..." Birmingham News. Relying on interpretative movement, sounds of human voices and the inner feelings of the characters, the classic Story is told in the form of a nightmare.
