IN HYDING – ALTERNATE JEKYLL AND HYDE SCRIPT: A FULL LENGTH DRAMA

In a twist on the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, we’re reintroduced to Doctor Henry Jekyll, a man whose mission to find his own truth, results in ghastly consequences. In, In Hyding, a drama in three acts, Dr. Jekyll is committed to his research above anything else, including his father. Their relationship was killed years ago at the hands of the despicable Jekyll senior himself. Shockingly, his last will states that his entire estate be handed to his son. And Henry certainly makes use of it when he employs a female assistant, one Edwina Hyde, for the purposes of his master work: an elixir that identifies and separates the good part and the evil parts of one’s soul in this alternate Jekyll and Hyde Script.

Edwina and Jekyll are never seen together and they both commit themselves to the work, tirelessly. Things start to go awry when Jekyll begins to use himself as a test subject. His solicitor, Utterson, sees a change, as does his manservant Poole. Little do they know the truth. It’s the the old wounds that never healed, threatening to burst through the walls Henry built up between his past and his present that plague him day and night. The horrors, the lost loves and regrets. With the walls crumbling slowly, Dr Jekyll must reconcile himself with himself and accept who he is, wholly.

What of the world? A terrible place. Neither can survive it.
