Patapsco High School and Center for the Arts Theatre Dept. presents DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE

This Halloween season Patapsco High School and Center for the Arts presents Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the classic tale about the good doctor, Henry Jekyll, and his dark echo, Edward Hyde, brought to the stage in a fiercely theatrical adaptation by Jeffrey Hatcher. 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.

Performances are October 30th and 31st at 7pm; November 1st at 2pm and 7pm; and November 2nd at 2pm in the Patapsco Black Box Theatre – 8100 Wise Ave. (Langport and Wise Ave. entrance).

Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students and senior citizens. Recommended for ages 13 and up. For tickets or more information contact Kelly Carlson at 410-887-7060 x269 or kcarlson@bcps.org. **On October 31st join us for Hyde’s Horrific Halloween Happening – there will be an audience costume contest, games, prizes and much more**”
