comment |
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a play by Noah Smith, first performed in 1999. It is based on the novel of the same name by Robert Louis Stevenson, and thus tells a new version of the now-familiar tale of Dr. Henry Jekyll, who creates a serum that transforms him into Edward Hyde, the embodiment of his suppressed urges.The play is in two acts. The first follows Jekyll as he develops the serum, initially enjoys his outings as Hyde, and then struggles to regain control as Hyde becomes increasingly violent and eventually murderous. The second switches focus to Jekyll's friend Gabriel Utterson as he investigates the mysterious Hyde and attempts to discover his connection to Jekyll, culminating in a confrontation in Jekyll's laboratory.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The other major characters of the play are Jekyll's skeptical colleague Dr. Hastie Lanyon, Utterson's nephew Richard Enfield, Enfield's fiancée Helen O'Neill, and a prostitute named Cybel who forms a relationship with Hyde. Two more characters, designated in the script as the Butler and the Maid, narrate and portray all the minor characters. They also act as a Greek Chorus to Jekyll in the first act, expressing his hopes and hesitations at the decisive moments, and to Utterson in the second, giving voice to his struggle to comprehend the events he's become enmeshed in. |

comment |
Angsty Surviving Twin: Helen's twin sister died the year before the play's events, leaving her feeling as if half of herself had died. She has a mark on her neck that appeared after her sister's death, which is suggested to be a psychosomatic expression of her grief. |

Adapted Out: Sir Danvers Carew, Hyde's murder victim in the novel, isn't mentioned or seen. Enfield gets his death instead. |

Animal Testing: Jekyll first tested his formulas on animals, resulting in a lab strewn about with dead and deformed rabbits before he hit on the correct mixture. |
