In this
retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson's famous story, Dr Jekyll is introduced
just as he is on the brink of discovering the key to man's inner reality.
One evening he experiments on himself and finds to his delight that
his formula works. Unfortunately, his "real" self turns
out to be the monster Edward Hyde. Undaunted, Dr Jekyll continues
his researches, spending more and more time as Hyde, and gradually
the horrifying character of Hyde begins to take over. Jerkyll's fiancee
and friends slowly become aware of the changes in him but are powerless
to help. Jekyll himself finds it more and more difficult to keep Hyde
at bay, and his initial delight soon turns to despair. Period: 1851.
