As the recipient of this award, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde will receive a six-week Off Broadway run at the historic SoHo Playhouse (15 Vandam Street). Dates TBA. Additional, Mr. Cole has announced that the 2019 SoHo Playhouse’s Fringe Encore Series will take place at the Playhouse from November 27 through December 29, 2019 and will feature the ‘Best of the Fests’ from International Fringe festivals including Adelaide, Auckland, Orlando, Brighton, Hollywood, Edinburgh, Vancouver and newcomer, Scranton. For more information on the series please visit www.fringeencores.org. Written by and starring Burt Grinstead and Anna Stromberg, this bare-bones Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is a dizzying, fast-paced, horrifying extravaganza that leaves you splitting ribs as you question your own morality. Based on the classic novella, this original adaptation takes you to the dismal streets of London in the 1860s, where societal pressures silence a gentle doctor’s questions about the nature of morality. As the pressure intensifies, Dr. Jekyll takes matters into his own hands. However, things take an eerie turn when his experiment takes on a life of its own. Will his efforts save the world, or will they destroy all that he holds dear? After all, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Nominated for six Hollywood Fringe Festival Awards including Best Comedy, winner of the 2CentsTheatre Award for Distinctive Voices, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde has been called “Absolutely fantastic! A clever mix of the original gothic story and their own brand of witty, nuanced humor. An amazing time at the theater, and a must-see” -Media-Geeks; “It never lets down, keeping us on the edge of our seats in horror or laughter” - BroadwayWorld.com; “It’s a highly innovative work, impressive not only for its delightfully morbid sense of humor and the versatility of the acting, but for its meticulous marriage of theme and aesthetics.” – StageRaw.com; “The spectacular performances, clever production, and a timeless message about the human condition, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is just what the doctor ordered.” - StageandCinema.com; “A theatrical blockbuster. Physical, inventive, ingenious and funny. Burt Grinstead and Anna Stromberg’s comedic adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde is theatrical catnip – you just can’t get enough of it. “ – StageBiz.com; “A wonderful, creative, joyful, fast paced, delight of a show.” - TheFrontRowCenter.com; “Smart, funny and surprisingly likable, complete with dark humor, quick pacing and a very high level of innovation. Grinstead and Stromberg have made good use of the original work in order to provide the audience with both laughs and gasps.” -NewYorkArts.net. SoHo Playhouse’s producing artist director, Darren Lee Cole said “We are thrilled with the success of this past year’s Fringe Encore Series, we introduced award-winning shows from all over the world to a savvy New York audience. But Burt and Anna’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was easily one of the best. It is one of the largest crowd-pleasers we have ever had at the Fringe Encores Series. It’s smart, fast-paced and wonderfully funny. We are excited to bring Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde back to the SoHo Playhouse for a six-week run. It’s a must see for audiences of all ages.” For more information about the 2019 FRINGE ENCORE SERIES please visit www.fringeencores.org For more information about the SoHo Playhouse please visit www.sohoplayhouse.com For more information about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde please visit www.blanketfortentertainment.com |
