Dr Jekyll And Mr Hyde

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.
