Jekyll's Nightmare is a brand new variation on the classic Robert Lewis Stevenson story of the duality of good and evil. In this innovative retelling, good and evil outcrop, too, in the other characters. Jekyll's wife, Grace, has a sister, Pamela, who is the "black sheep" of the family. Even the Reverend Danvers, the father-in-law to the Doctor, has a shadowy past. The play deftly illustrates the denouement, the never-ending presence of darkness - as Pamela initiates the corruption of another soul, continuing the eternal cycle.
