| The Strange Case Of Dr. Jekyll And Mr. Hyde Sep 22- Nov 5, 2006 |
|
| City Lit Theater |
 |
| |
| Robert Louis Stevenson wrote The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in the autumn of 1885, the basic idea having come to him in a nightmare from which his wife woke him when she heard his cries of horror. The novella was controversial enough at the outset that many bookstores refused to stock it, but today the names of its protagonist are standard shorthand for a central concept of Western culture: the inner conflict between good and evil |
