<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">Just in time for the Halloween season,
CVLT presents Jeffrey Hatcher's drama <i>Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</i>, an inventive
adaptation of the 1886 Robert Louis Stevenson
tale which premiered in 2008 and was nominated
by the Mystery Writers of America for an "Edgar
Award" for Best Play. </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2"><em>Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde</em> is an
examination of the gray area between good and
evil. Dr. Henry Jekyll (played by Dale Van Niel)
is a gentlemanly scientist who takes a special
concoction he's created that turns him into the
vile criminal Mr. Edward Hyde, a man free to
commit the sins that Jekyll himself is too
reserved to comprehend. Dr. Jekyll becomes
increasingly conflicted and unbalanced while
discovering the frightening truth behind his
black-outs and the experimental drugs that cause
them.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">Meanwhile, the affection denied to Dr.
Jekyll falls to Hyde (played at varying moments
in the play by Craig Gifford, Tiffany Ricci,
Jerry Schaber and Clay Von Carlowitz). He is
loved by the bold Elizabeth (Leah Frires), who
loves the creature in spite of the evil she
knows he is guilty of. Jekyll's struggle to save
his research, convert Elizabeth to his own, and
separate himself from the creature he has
increasingly become turns into a cat-and-mouse
game that leaves the audience to question just
which side of the man they should be rooting
for.</font> </p>

size="2">From Jason Robert Brown, the Tony Award
winning composer behind <i>Parade</i>, <i>Songs
for a New World</i>, <i>Urban Cowboy</i> and
<i>13</i>, comes this intimate musical about the
rise and fall of a modern relationship,
performed with two actors and a piano in CVLT's
smaller River Street Playhouse venue.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">Jamie Wellerstein (Andrew Rothman) is
an up-and-coming novelist who left Columbia U.
to pursue his literary career in NYC. Cathy
Hiatt (Rebecca Marks) is a struggling theater
actress from New Jersey. Their story is, at face
value, a classic arc; Jewish boy meets Catholic
girl, they fall in love, marry, and eventually
fall apart. </font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
size="2">But in <i>The Last Five Years</i>, the
composer lays our his story through an unusual
twisting of the timeline; Cathy tells her side
of the relationship starting with the
post-mortem, while Jamie begins his telling of
the story with the first date. The two
characters move in opposite directions through
time, alternating dove-tailed solo musical
performances, only meeting to sing as a duo at
their engagement and wedding in the middle of
the tale. The unique bi-directional storytelling
style balances the soaring highs of fresh love
with the crushing lows of the breakup through
fifteen memorable songs.</font></p>
