This was our first show at the ACT and wow! We were totally blown away by this production and our first thought was geesh- why did we waste a season at the Rep? (Sorry Rep but it's true). The ACT is our kind of theater.
While there was no set as the theater is in the round, and the minimal set pieces were unobtrusive but it was the acting and staging that stole the show. With four different actors playing Mr. Hyde (including a woman) the performance was just mesmerizing. I don't want to give anything away, but this is a must see. With simple yet effective costume techniques Mr. Hyde comes out with a flip of a cape to revel the bright orange lining underneath, and a rotation of cast members that somehow keep all the parts clear. We can't wait for the next show.
