Robert Louis Stevenson 
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (NHB Modern Plays) 
Stage Version

A superb adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's famous story of the unassuming Dr Jekyll and his dark alter-ego Mr Hyde.This version, first performed at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre in 1996, is a revised and partially re-written version of the adaptation premiered by the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Barbican Theatre, London, in 1991.'a single actor tackles both roles… His transformation from mild-mannered, myopic doctor to the fiendish Mr Hyde is merely the physical manifestation of the divisions within the Victorian psyche. This thoughtful show goes far beyond melodrama' – Guardian'urgent, superbly wrought and well-structured' – Observer'Both a theatrical feast and an intellectual challenge' – Sunday Times
