Sigmund Freud called it the ego and the id. Obi-Wan Kenobi called it the light side and the dark side of the force. Those werewolves in "Twilight" know the deal. Everybody's got a dark side - and that's nowhere better explained than in the classic 1886 novella "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," by Robert Louis Stevenson.
The story of a mild-mannered Victorian doctor and his rather less socially adept alter ego has resonated across the decades, inspiring multiple film and theatrical adaptations. Scott R.C. Levy of the Penobscot Theatre Company chose Jeffrey Hatcher's fast-paced, intense 2008 adaptation of the story to stage as the second production of the theatre's 2010-11 season.
