When Hyde meets a woman who stirs his interest, Jekyll fears for her life and decides to end his experiments. But Hyde has other ideas, and so the two sides battle each other in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse to determine who shall be the master and who his slave…With set and lighting design by JP Gagnon, and costumes by Wendy Poole, $12 or pay-what-you-can, The Theater Project, 14 School St, Brunswick.
