<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">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>

see the most controversial and unusual drama seen on
CVLT's stage in years!</font></strong></p>

<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" 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 (Andrew Rothman and Rebecca
Marks) and a piano (Dan Kamionkowski) in CVLT's smaller
River Street Playhouse venue.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Jamie
Wellerstein is an up-and-coming novelist who left
Columbia University to pursue his literary career in
NYC. Cathy Hiatt 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 out 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 for
a moment in the middle of the play. 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>
