Aquila Theatre: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Aquila Theatre returns to the George Mason University Center for the Arts with a compelling new adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic gothic horror novella *The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde*. This New York‑based company, which originated in London, is one of the foremost producers of classical theater in the United States and has been recognized by the National Endowment for the Humanities as a company of distinctive cultural significance in traditional British performance. Audiences will be drawn into the treacherous and terrifying nature of a fractured self as the story explores the duality of human nature. The production is described as “beautifully spoken, dramatically revealing and crystalline in effect” by *The New Yorker*.
